The project team will support implementation of the MES system across the Rockline Operating System in the US. This associate will work with every plant, a world class external integrator (SkyIO) and will contribute directly to bringing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning into Rockline. This system will transform the flow of information, enhance production controls, tighten product consistency and reshape reporting building on years of physical automation investment throughout the global footprint.

This role will collaborate with their cross-functional peers on the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) Core team and site engineering to assure that the new MES system connects safely and effectively to the PLC controls in the equipment.

The MES deployment will last 36-48 months and expand into a broader role in the OT space of the business at close of that timeframe. Direct hire opportunity - not contract based.

Guide equipment-to-HMI connectivity requirements and partner with site engineering teams to support PLC troubleshooting and integration activities.
Collaborate with GE and OT teams to define and maintain MES-to-equipment integration standards, including nomenclature, hardware interface requirements, controls architecture alignment, and backward compatibility with existing assets. Review and provide technical input on MES designs, configurations, and deliverables developed by external integrators to ensure alignment with Rockline standards and operational requirements.
Establish and maintain MES startup, shutdown, and operational protocols to ensure equipment and associate safety.
