Working from our regional base near Cologne, you will support a key chemical customer on-site as well as other clients, with a strong focus on real-time data infrastructure, alarm management, and production data flow. The focal points of this position are the following: * Industrial IT & Data Integration: Implement, configure, and integrate OT/IT systems and data flows, connecting control-layer sources (DCS, PLC, SCADA) to historians, data platforms, and enterprise systems through APIs and standard interfaces. * AVEVA PI & Historian: Configure, maintain, and extend AVEVA PI (PI Data Archive, Asset Framework, interfaces/connectors) to capture, contextualize, and serve real-time and historical operational data. * Alarm Management: Support and optimize alarm management systems - e.g. Honeywell Alarm Management (the system currently in use) - including alarm rationalization, classification, and the analysis of alarm performance, critical alarms, and alarm floods. * Connectivity & Protocols: Set up and troubleshoot industrial connectivity using OPC UA and OPC A&E, including the configuration of tunnelers / wrappers to bridge OT data sources securely and reliably. * Production Data Flow: Ensure seamless, secure, and well-structured data flow across the industrial IT landscape, transforming raw operational data into meaningful information for operations and decision-making. * System Support & Troubleshooting: Provide ongoing support for OT/IT applications, troubleshooting issues across networks, software, and data integrations to keep systems running efficiently. * Collaboration with Teams: Work closely with AG, customer, and partner OT architects, IT teams, and operations to ensure systems are configured correctly, data is integrated properly, and solutions meet operational needs. * Knowledge Management & Best Practices: Contribute to internal documentation, best practices, and troubleshooting guides, and help continuously improve how we deliver industrial IT and data solutions. You Will Be Successful in This Role If You: * Meet and exceed customer requirements, deadlines, and expectations. * Are a strong IT all-rounder, comfortable across networking, software, and data integration (APIs). * Can contextualize and integrate real-time data from operational technologies and ensure it flows seamlessly across systems. * Are comfortable working in dynamic, cross-functional teams and can troubleshoot system issues with effective, timely solutions. * Continuously develop your skills by learning and applying the latest technologies to solve real-world problems. Who This Role Is a Great Fit For: * Hands-on Technicians: You enjoy working directly with systems - installing, configuring, integrating, and supporting them. * IT All-Rounders: You are equally comfortable with networks, software, and data-integration topics, and you like connecting the dots between them. * Data Enthusiasts: You find innovative ways to enable data-driven functions, solutions, and analytics across the plant. * Problem Solvers: You enjoy troubleshooting and resolving technical issues so that OT systems and data flows work seamlessly end-to-end. * Team Collaborators: You work well with international, cross-functional teams to implement solutions that meet operational requirements., * Work model: Hybrid - combining AG Solution office presence, customer site visits, and remote work. * Travel requirements: Mainly regional to customer sites in the Cologne area, with occasional travel within Germany and Europe for company, customer, and event locations. * Physical requirements: As customer sites are industrial environments, applicants need to: use appropriate PPE; lift moderate loads; walk/stand/climb for extended periods; and navigate industrial structures (stairs, platforms, uneven surfaces) in varying conditions. ## Related Videos - [Data Science, ML & AI in the Oil and Gas Industry at NDT Global - Dr. Katja Träumner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1308-data-science-ml-ai-in-the-oil-and-gas-industry-at-ndt-global-dr-katja-traumner) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [JavaScript?
