Description Our client, a market leader in the Steel Industry, based in Middelburg, is currently looking to employ a Process Control and Development (PC and D) Engineer. Bachelor's in Engineering qualification secures! An exciting career opportunity awaits you!
Requirements: B.Eng. / BSc (Electrical, Electronic, Metallurgical or Mechanical) or Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field. Experience in Software development (C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, etc), specifically in the engineering control software field. Knowledge of Level 2 type first principal models for heating and rolling technology. Knowledge of how these Level 2 models are automatically calibrated using AI or other simpler methods. Knowledge of control systems and instrumentation is a plus. Creative and strong problem-solving and analytical skills. Experience working in a manufacturing or industrial environment is a plus. Enjoys working in the field of engineering solution development. Responsibilities, but not limited to: Identify problem areas requiring improvement as directed by business KPIs. Quantify the underlying contributory causes to the problems. Study the problem based on the contributory causes and propose solutions. Implement solutions, including automation, mistake-proofing, and manufacturing procedures. Sustain and continuously improve performance through automated systems and processes. Plan, direct, and coordinate hot rolling process improvements linked to Process Control and Development systems to improve quality, efficiency, and availability. Investigate modelling and control system failures and associated deviations to implement corrective and preventive actions. Implement solutions to assist with process and product development in association with Level 1 or 2 Technical and Production departments through consultation with other disciplines. Maintain and develop the following systems: Heat transfer modelling (finite element heat transfer Level 2 model) and combustion systems (Level 1). Rolling modelling (Level 2): Speed, temperature, forces, torques, and flatness control models (including neural network). Level 1 thickness, flatness, strip cooling, and coiling mostly feedback control systems. Expert System for continuous process parameter optimization of the heating and rolling processes (including Fuzzy Logic). Perform weekly standby on a rotational basis with other Process Control and Development team members.
