full-time
Our client is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead Field Service Engineer to oversee the installation, maintenance, and repair of sophisticated industrial automation systems. This fully remote role demands a candidate with a strong technical background and the ability to provide expert support and guidance to clients and junior engineers. While the role is remote, it requires flexibility for occasional on-site visits as dictated by project needs, though the primary operational framework is remote.

You will also be tasked with developing and implementing training programs for clients and internal teams, documenting technical procedures, and contributing to the continuous improvement of service delivery processes.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), robotics, and various industrial communication protocols. You will possess excellent problem-solving skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, along with a minimum of 5 years of experience in industrial automation and field service, is required. Certifications in specific automation platforms are a plus. This is an exciting opportunity to leverage your technical expertise in a remote capacity, contributing to critical infrastructure and manufacturing processes across various industries. Join our team and help ensure the seamless operation of vital industrial systems from your remote workspace.

Location: This is a fully remote role, but the original business operations context is within **Mombasa, Mombasa, KE**. Candidates should be prepared for potential travel, though day-to-day operations will be managed remotely.
