Automation Engineer
Would you like to join an ambitious and dynamic organization where you can help shape a sustainable future?
PLC and SCADA Programming, commissioning, and documentation for large-scale biogas plants
You will be part of our Engineering department, which works with project planning and design of biogas plants for Denmark and Europe. As an Automation Engineer, you will report to the Head of Electrical Engineering, where you will work with programming, commissioning, and documentation of our biogas plant at home and abroad.
Your tasks include but are not limited to:
- Create functional- and programming descriptions
- Design and Configuration of process networks
- PLC programming, primary Siemens S7/TIA, secondary Rockwell RSLogix and PlantPAx.
- SCADA configuration, primary IGSS, secondary Rockwell FTView
- Configuration and setup of servers.
You will be involved throughout the whole process – both before, during, and after the biogas plant is commissioned. You will have an important role in commissioning, where you are on-site and testing the system as well as providing online support from the office.
Your daily life will be at one of our offices in either Odense, Støvring or Aarhus. Additionally, a part of your job is to visit several of our facilities for inspections and commissioning.
Experienced Automation Engineer with a logical mindset
You have an educational background as an automation engineer, automation technologist, marine engineer, electrical contractor, or similar. In addition, it is an advantage if you already have experience from a similar position. However, it is not a requirement.
As a person, you think logically and have a structured approach to problem-solving. Quality is your trademark, and you thrive in the role of "expert" in your field. You are both experienced in and enjoy working in project teams with excellent communication skills and are also able to work independently. We have a strong focus on your development, so we expect you to be curious and have the will to learn new things and improve your skills further in your field.
You have good communication skills in Danish and English.

About Nature Energy
Nature Energy is the market leader in turning many million tonnes of biomass into green, CO2-neutral gas as effectively as possible. We collect and deliver biomass from businesses, agriculture, and households and return the degassed biomass to agriculture that recycles nutrients. This is a circular economy at its best. At the same time, we ensure that the surrounding community around our biogas plants remains as undisturbed as possible by transport and odors.
Nature Energy is already making a big difference in the green transition, but our ambitions are even more significant. That is why Nature Energy is investing intensively in research, including our laboratory at our head office in Odense. The laboratory is a site for research into refining the technology to extract more energy from biomass and produce even better fertilizer for agriculture. The laboratory is also researching new biomasses to produce green, CO2-neutral energy in the future.
