Job description

At Spectrum Automation, we're a team of problem-solvers, innovators, and trusted partners delivering intelligent automation solutions that drive real-world performance. For over 30 years, we've partnered with clients across manufacturing, infrastructure, utilities, food & beverage, water, energy and industrial sectors to improve productivity, reliability and performance through smart engineering.

As part of Sentra Group, this is an exciting time to join our journey. We're investing in our people, expanding into new markets, growing our data centre capability and taking on increasingly complex automation projects across Australia.

About the Opportunity:

We're looking for an experienced Senior Automation Engineer to join our Melbourne team. This is a hands-on role where you'll take ownership of projects from concept through to commissioning while working closely with clients to deliver high-quality automation solutions.

In this role you will:

  • Design, develop, commission and support PLC, SCADA and OT Systems.
  • Work directly with customers to understand requirements and develop innovative automation solutions.
  • Deliver projects from specification through to commissioning and ongoing support.
  • Provide technical guidance during the pre-sales process.
  • Prepare technical documentation including functional descriptions, user manuals and commissioning documentation.
  • Support continuous improvement across engineering standards and project delivery.
  • Deliver solutions that improve operational efficiency, reliability, and safety

What We're Looking For:

We're interested in speaking with people who have:

  • A Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechatronics, Automation, or similar)
  • Proven experience in automation and control system design
  • Strong experience with Ignition SCADA and OT Networks (preferred)
  • Exposure to PLC platforms, industrial networks, and system integration
  • Experience working within a Systems Integrator, OEM, or End User environment
  • Strong communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills
  • A commitment to safety, quality, and teamwork

Why Join Spectrum Automation?

We're proud of the way we work - with integrity, empathy, and a genuine commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes.

Our values guide everything we do:

Put Safety First - Safety is everyone's responsibility.

Genuinely Care - We support one another and our clients.

Do What's Right, Not What's Easy - Integrity drives every decision.

Expect to Learn and Innovate - Curiosity fuels improvement.

You'll join a highly experienced team that values collaboration, technical excellence and continuous learning while working on some of Australia's most interesting industrial automation projects.

What's on Offer?

  • Opportunity to be part of a growing Melbourne team with a strong performance culture
  • Exciting, industry-leading projects across Australia
  • Competitive remuneration based on experience
  • Ongoing training, mentorship, and career development
  • Strong focus on work-life balance and team connection

Interested?

If you're passionate about automation, enjoy solving challenging technical problems, and want to work with a culturally strong, values-driven team while building a meaningful career pathway, we'd love to hear from you.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply.
