In this role, you will program, commission, maintain and develop building automation systems. You will solve practical technical challenges and see how automation affects heating, ventilation, cooling and other building services systems. Your background may be in building or property automation, but this is not essential. Experience in industrial or electrical automation, electrical engineering or HVAC/building services can also provide an excellent foundation. You may be an automation engineer at the beginning of your career or a more experienced automation professional. The key is a strong technical foundation, interest in automation systems and willingness to learn and solve problems in practice.

The varied specialist role combines programming, commissioning, technical problem-solving and customer work. You will contribute to building functionality, energy efficiency and optimisation of technical systems. You will have the support of an experienced organisation and the opportunity to learn from building automation professionals.

You will work with both the systems and software and the physical equipment and processes they control. You will work independently and with other automation and building services specialists, the project organisation and customers. The work includes customer sites and travel within the operating area. Your duties include: - Programming building and property automation systems. - Commissioning and testing automation systems. - Maintaining, developing and troubleshooting systems. - Working on digital integrations and connections between systems. - Developing and optimising automation for HVAC processes in buildings. - Monitoring system operation and investigating technical problems. - Acting as a technical specialist in customer projects. - Collaborating with customers, project teams and other technical specialists.

Required skills and experience: - Relevant technical education, such as a bachelor’s degree from a university of applied sciences in automation, electrical engineering or HVAC engineering, or equivalent skills gained through practical work experience. - Work experience that provides an understanding of automation technology, and an interest in programming, commissioning and troubleshooting automation systems. - A practical approach and the ability to understand technical systems as a whole. - Fluent Finnish and the ability to work in English. - A category B driving licence, readiness to travel in the Helsinki metropolitan area and the possibility of using your own car to travel to customer sites. - An initiative-taking, responsible and persistent approach to work. Experience in any of the following is an advantage: building or property automation; programming and commissioning automation systems; logic programming or PLC environments; industrial automation; electrical automation, electrical installation or electrical contracting; HVAC systems; building services; servicing, maintaining or troubleshooting automation systems; and technical work in a customer or project organisation.
