Job Description
Senior Controls Engineer
Diversified Automation, Inc.
• Support the design and implementation of electrical and control systems for automated material handling projects. • Develop and implement PLC and HMI programs (primarily Rockwell Automation; Beckhoff and Codesys experience a plus). • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineering teams to define requirements and deliver integrated system solutions. • Manage and mentor controls and commissioning engineers, providing technical guidance and performance feedback. • Participate in system integration, testing, and on-site commissioning, ensuring successful start-up and customer acceptance. • Provide feedback to software development teams and improve standard PLC control libraries, templates, and best practices across projects. • Coordinate and communicate with software development teams to ensure PLC/HMI software is developed in alignment with established in-house standards. • Collaborate with stakeholders (project management, operations, and customers) to align designs with business and project goals. • Troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve control system issues in production and commissioning phases. • Stay current with emerging automation technologies, industrial networking standards, and software development practices.
Job Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related discipline (Master’s preferred).
- 7+ years of experience in controls system design, PLC/HMI development, site commissioning and electrical engineering for material handling or automation systems.
- Experience with system commissioning.
- Strong knowledge of industrial automation, controls architecture, and material handling systems.
- Expertise with PLC platforms (Rockwell ControlLogix, CompactLogix) and HMI software (FactoryTalk View, Ignition, Aveva, Indusoft).
- Solid understanding of network communication protocols: EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Profibus, Profinet, ControlNet.

Role Description The role exists to deliver high-quality crowd movement analysis and static assessments that support safe, efficient, and robust crowd management planning. The Crowd Modelling Expert applies analytical judgement, domain knowledge, and structured reasoning to identify risks, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities in pedestrian environments. The role focuses on interpreting crowd behavior and space performance, translating analytical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for planners, engineers, and decision-makers. Key Responsibilities - Problem Definition & Method Selection: - Analyze pedestrian movement patterns and crowd behavior in defined areas and scenarios. - Assess capacities, densities, flow rates, queuing behavior, and spatial conflicts. - Identify critical situations such as pinch points, congestion, unsafe densities, or operational weaknesses. - Scenario Evaluation & Interpretation: - Support the definition and evaluation of operational scenarios (e.g. peak demand, diversions, special events, constrained conditions). - Interpret analytical results in terms of risk, safety, and operational performance. - Distinguish between theoretical capacity and realistic, safe operation. - Recommendations & Practical Solutions: - Develop clear, practical improvement measures (layout changes, operational rules, routing strategies, demand management). - Evaluate the effectiveness and limitations of proposed measures. - Support prioritization of interventions based on risk and impact. - Documentation & Communication: - Produce structured reports, figures, and presentations suitable for client and stakeholder use. - Clearly document assumptions, limitations, and confidence levels. - Communicate findings in a way that is understandable to non-specialist audiences without oversimplifying. - Collaboration: - Work closely with simulation engineers, planners, engineers, and monitoring / technology specialists. - Align assumptions and findings across disciplines to ensure consistency of recommendations. - Level of Technical Ownership: - Ownership of assigned crowd analysis work packages. - Responsibility for the technical soundness and clarity of conclusions and recommendations. - Opportunity to challenge assumptions and refine scenarios in coordination with the wider team. - Contribution to improving internal analysis approaches and standards. - Engineering Mindset & Working Style: - Understand crowd behavior as a system, not just a set of numbers. - Comfortable making judgement-based assessments under imperfect information. - Balance safety, operational feasibility, and real-world constraints. - Prefer structured reasoning and clear communication over purely theoretical analysis. - Motivated by improving safety and performance in complex public environments. Qualifications - Strong background in pedestrian / crowd modelling, crowd safety assessment, or transport / movement analysis. - Experience translating analytical findings into actionable recommendations. - Strong technical writing and stakeholder communication skills. - Ability to reason about safety, capacity, and operational risk holistically. Preferred Experience - Experience with complex, high-density or high-stakes environments (transport hubs, events, religious sites, urban centers). - Familiarity with pedestrian or crowd modelling platforms (e.g. Legion, MassMotion, Viswalk, PEDFLOW / PEDNET, or similar). - Arabic language skills or regional background supporting contextual understanding and coordination. Education Background - BSc, MSc, or PhD in Civil Engineering, Transport Engineering, Systems Engineering, Urban Planning, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, or a related field. - Preferred: postgraduate focus on crowd dynamics, pedestrian modelling, transport planning, or safety engineering. Optional Training / Certifications - Crowd safety or event safety training (crowd risk assessment, crowd management). - Training on pedestrian / crowd modelling platforms. - Human factors, evacuation modelling, or safety engineering coursework. Engagement Model - Freelance or project-based engagement. - Remote-first technical work with structured coordination. - On-site presence only if technically required.
