Are you a technical service expert?
Industrial Automation requires a new generation of Support Experts, this role is rapidly changing to a more demanding role to address the ever-changing operational technology (OT) in the production environment together with our customers. Within Vanderlande we follow this new trend and therefore we are looking for you to strengthen our team!
Your position
As Operational Technology Support Expert FSC you are responsible for providing operational excellence support for a wide variety of customer specific software programs from the OT systems. The FSC (Flow System Controller) is a Vanderlande specific product which integrates the state-of-the-art technology in the automation industry taking care of the equipment control level. You handle Incidents, Problems, Changes and Services Requests that are dispatched by the 1st and 2nd level Service Desks.
You are joining the SD EU-APAC Expert Support team and your main focus is analyzing, troubleshooting incidents and create solutions at the customer site. You analyse the cause of the incident and come up with solutions to prevent reoccurrences and minimizes the impact of incidents that cannot be prevented (problem management). You'll then prepare, implement and test the agreed changes and implement a permanent solution (change management).
Performing health checks independently, advising on controls-related matters and modifications to systems, performing quality assurance and taking care of the seamless integration during Service- and Product Take Overs are your daily activities as well.
The majority of these support tasks are carried out from our office via VPN connections. In addition, there is a need to carry out occasional work on site, inside or outside Europe. You can think of conducting health checks, problem- and change- management, corrective maintenance, training, ramp up– and peak support or for a short time participate in projects for knowledge purposes. During office and site work you can fall back on a team of colleagues and site-based teams.
You participate actively in the development and implementation of improvements (technology, processes and tooling) because you and your colleagues are the contact person for operational technology software related problems that cannot be resolved locally. Therefore, you are an important link between the different internal service organisations, technology departments and the different business units.
