Senior Maintenance Technician – Electrical & Automation

Own automation, uptime, and electrical performance in a scaling deep-tech factory

At Smart High Tech, we are industrialising advanced graphene-based materials that enable next-generation AI systems, electronics, and data centres.

We are now scaling production—and with that comes a critical requirement: reliable, precise, and high-performing automation and electrical systems.

We are looking for a Senior Maintenance Technician – Electrical & Automation who will take ownership of this domain.

Your mission

You ensure that our production runs stable, safe, and at full performance.

You are:

• The technical authority in electrical systems and automation

• A key driver of uptime, reliability, and energy efficiency

• A central contributor to scaling production without disruption

What you will do

Maintenance & operational reliability

• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on electrical and automation systems

• Work with PLCs, control systems, frequency converters, and instrumentation

• Lead advanced fault diagnosis in complex production environments

• Ensure calibration, accuracy, and functionality of control equipment

• Maintain and update technical documentation and electrical schematics

Continuous improvement & problem solving

• Drive root cause analysis and long-term corrective actions

• Improve system reliability, uptime, and energy efficiency

• Identify recurring issues and implement sustainable solutions

• Act as a technical mentor and elevate team competence

New equipment & industrialisation

• Participate in installation and commissioning of new equipment

• Lead electrical and automation validation in FAT and SAT

• Verify PLC logic, SCADA interfaces, and system integration

• Ensure systems meet specifications before production start

Key interfaces

You will work closely with:

• Facility & Maintenance Manager

• Mechanical & Cooling Maintenance

• Production & Engineering

• External suppliers and equipment vendors

Who you are

You combine deep technical expertise with ownership and execution.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, or Mechatronics

• Strong experience in PLC programming and control systems

• Minimum ~8 years in industrial maintenance, with focus on automation

• Experience with:

  • SCADA systems

  • OPC communication

  • MES interfaces

  • CMMS systems

• Solid understanding of industrial cybersecurity principles

• Trained in electrical safety, LOTO, and relevant AFS standards

How you work

• Structured and analytical in troubleshooting

• Calm and precise under pressure

• Hands-on and solution-oriented

• A natural mentor who builds team capability

• Driven by improving systems, not just fixing them

What we offer

This is a role for someone who wants technical ownership at scale.

You will:

• Own automation and electrical systems in a high-tech production environment

• Work with advanced processes (thermal systems, coating, precision manufacturing)

• Play a critical role in scaling a factory from development to global production

• Be part of a team where competence, accountability, and execution matter

• Influence how systems are built—not just maintained

What success looks like

Within 6–12 months, you have:

• Established high reliability and uptime across key systems

• Reduced recurring failures through structured improvements

• Strengthened automation performance and system stability

• Contributed to successful commissioning of new equipment
