IT Industrial Engineer (AVEVA - MES) - Lyon
We are looking for a French‑speaking Industrial IT Engineer with strong hands‑on experience in AVEVA/Wonderware and MES systems to join a long‑term digital manufacturing project in France. This is a 12‑month contract to start, with extensions expected based on project roadmap and performance.
Role Overview
This position is focused on developing, configuring, and implementing industrial IT applications-primarily AVEVA System Platform and MES-within a live production environment. It is a technical developer/implementer role, not a project manager position.

- Implement MES functionalities, workflows, and integrations with shop‑floor systems.
- Collaborate with OT, automation, and IT stakeholders to ensure seamless system connectivity.
- Troubleshoot, optimise, and support industrial IT applications in a production environment.
- Contribute to documentation, testing, and validation activities as needed.
Required Experience
- Minimum 3 years of experience in Industrial IT, OT/IT, MES, or SCADA engineering roles.
- Proven hands‑on experience with AVEVA / Wonderware platforms.
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and industrial information systems.
- Ability to work on site in France during the early stages of the project.
- Fluent French speaker (mandatory).
- Professional proficiency in English is a plus.
Nice to Have
- Experience in pharmaceutical or biotech environments (GMP, GAMP5, validation exposure).
- Knowledge of industrial networks, PLC connectivity, or SCADA architectures.
- Familiarity with regulated manufacturing environments.
Contract Details
- 12‑month initial contract, long‑term project with likely extensions.
- On‑site presence required at the start.
- Competitive daily rate based on experience.
