Job Search

* Are you a senior automation engineer who thrives on designing complex AMR and warehouse automation solutions end-to-end?
* Do you enjoy owning major projects from pre-sales discovery through to go-live and optimisation?
* Are you ready to be the technical authority delivering large-scale robotics deployments across VIC and ANZ?

Our Client:
A global tier 1 automation and intralogistics leader is seeking a customer-focused, technically strong and commercially astute Senior Solutions Engineer to join their growing VIC team.

With recent growth and project wins - including a $35M warehouse automation deployment in Melbourne - the business is investing heavily in Autonomous Mobile Robotics (AMR) and integrated distribution centre solutions across ANZ.

In this role, you will take full ownership of complex AMR projects from early-stage discovery through to implementation, go-live and optimisation. This is not purely a design role - it is end-to-end technical leadership across live operational environments.

Key Responsibilities:
* Lead technical consulting and solution design for complex AMR and warehouse automation deployments.
* Own projects end-to-end - from pre-sales scoping, discovery and solution modelling through to implementation and optimisation.
* Act as the senior technical authority bridging commercial strategy, engineering and delivery execution.
* Serve as the primary client technical contact throughout implementation and deployment phases.
* Conduct operational discovery including site visits, workshops, future-state process design and assumptions modelling.
* Translate warehouse operational data into engineered, investment-ready automation solutions.
* Design integrated automated and manual DC workflows and system architectures.
* Develop AutoCAD layouts, system sizing, cost estimates, timelines and deployment strategies.
* Ensure OH&S and compliance standards are upheld across all deployments.
* Mentor and guide engineering team members across design, testing and documentation.
* Drive continuous improvement initiatives across projects and post-delivery support models.

About You:
You are a confident, client-facing senior solutions professional with strong operational insight and commercial judgement. You understand live warehouse environments and how automation integrates into real-world DC operations.
You enjoy translating complexity into practical engineered solutions and take accountability beyond concept design through to successful delivery.

You Bring:
* 5+ years operational experience within warehousing, logistics or distribution environments.
* Strong knowledge of warehouse automation and AMR systems.
* Proven experience designing integrated automated + manual DC operations.
* Advanced AutoCAD skills (essential).
* Strong analytical capability - able to convert operational data into engineered solutions.
* Experience across pre-sales, solution design and project delivery environments.
* A personable, proactive and collaborative mindset with the confidence to influence stakeholders.

This is a top opportunity to join a market leader that offers great autonomy, domain leadership and hybrid work model.

More than a solutions engineering role - it's an opportunity to lead high-impact deployments that transform major warehouse operations across VIC and ANZ, within a fast-growing global automation landscape.
