About the role

We are building the B2B online platform to accelerate the global circular flow of secondary metals. By connecting buyers and sellers of scrap metal globally, we enable efficient trade of secondary metals and drive the seamless flow of recycling material, essential for reducing CO2 emissions by up to 95% compared to primary metal production.

Your work

What you’ll do

What matters

What they’re looking for

Select a requirement to inspect fit, evidence or application context.

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience programming and commissioning industrial control systems, with a track record of bringing production equipment or complete lines into stable operation
  • Deep Siemens TIA Portal / S7-1200 & S7-1500 experience, with strong skills in SCL, LAD/FBD, HMI/SCADA, industrial networking (PROFINET, PROFIBUS, Modbus TCP), drives/VFDs, and fault-finding
  • Strong machine safety competence, including F-CPU / Safety Integrated and EN ISO 13849, with the ability to explain and defend performance-level determinations
  • Comfortable reading electrical schematics and troubleshooting cabinets, hardware, signals, wiring, and control behaviour directly on the shop floor. You have brought at least one production line from commissioning into stable production; maintenance-only experience is not sufficient
  • Experience working with machine and panel builders, with the confidence to hold suppliers accountable for code quality, documentation, standards compliance, and professional delivery
  • Experience with brownfield projects and legacy migration (STEP 7 Classic → TIA); experience in bulk material handling, recycling, sorting, or minerals processing is a plus
  • Experience with PLC version control, simulation / digital twins, or structured automation approaches is desirable. Additional IT/OT skills such as Python, C#/TIA Openness, SQL, Linux, Docker, MES/IIoT, OT network segmentation, or IEC 62443 are a plus
  • Independent, structured, and hands-on, with a strong sense of ownership. You challenge assumptions, hold suppliers to a high standard, and document what you build
  • Fluent in English; German and/or Dutch is a plus. Ideally based in or near Cologne or the Benelux/border region, with valid EU work authorisation and the willingness to travel to our Smart Sorting Facility in Belgium, Maasmechelen
