Senior DCS Process Automation Engineer for Novo Nordisk Engineering
Do you want to be a part of NNE’s all-time largest Process Automation team? We are looking for colleagues to join our fantastic company, where we have the aspiration of becoming best in class within Automation Solutions for Pharmaceutical Engineering.
Who we are
We are a leading pharma engineering company shaping the future of API pharma engineering globally. Leveraging the expertise of 2,000+ employees across Denmark, India, and the US, we design, build and optimise pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities that are essential to the health and well-being of patients everywhere.
Our success is driven by passion, innovation, and collaboration — with our customers and across our teams and disciplines. If you share our dedication to a noble cause and our passion for API pharma engineering, then NNE is the place for you.
About the role
You will be working in an enthusiastic Process Automation team with more than 80 colleagues in Denmark. Globally, the Process Automation team is more than 200 employees.
The Process Automation team works with consultancy, design & development, implementation and validation of Automation solutions for the Pharma and Biotech industries. Our work is project based, and currently we are looking into an exciting pipeline of large data driven, greenfield plants with modular/scalable designs.
We are skilled in a broad range of process areas within API production e.g. fermentation, recovery and purification, utility, and cleaning systems. And the solutions we provide to our customers are always based on a deep understanding of the customers’ production processes – and if standard components can’t do the job, we develop our own.
