Project Engineering & Workflow Automation Trainee

As Engineering & Workflow Automation Trainee you will support our project teams and project engineers who work on the continuous improvement roadmap of Capital Project Group EAME (Crop Protection / Formulation Fill & Packaging / R&D). The objective of this initiative is to identify repetitive tasks that could be automated or digitalized within our project management process. The aim will be to limit non-added value and repetitive tasks for the engineering team members. To accomplish this, we first define the process steps to automate, then use integration tools such as e.g. Power Automate to perform the automation and lastly, we train the teams to use the newly developed solutions.
