Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced and visionary Digital Business Partner – Manufacturing (Technology Excellence) to lead large-scale, multi-site digital manufacturing transformation by partnering with business and plant operations while bridging IT/OT implementation. This role co-leads Technology Excellence and drives end-to-end program/project delivery across MES/MOM integration, centralized SCADA, process historian, PLC/ICS automation, and industrial connectivity, while ensuring OT network and cybersecurity resilience aligned with ISO 27001 and IEC 62443. The role is accountable for multi-vendor delivery, management and sustainable BAU adoption.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver large-scale digital transformation programs/projects with strong governance, quality, and measurable outcomes.
- Own program/project management discipline (scope, plan, RAID, dependencies, budget oversight, steering cadence, and executive reporting).
- Lead multi-vendor management (SOW, milestones, quality gates, change control, acceptance, and handover).
- Co-own Technology Excellence and ensure consistent integration/connectivity using ISA-95 aligned principles.
- Lead OT Network and OT Cybersecurity delivery to achieve secure, resilient, and audit-ready operations.
IT and OT Infrastructure Project Management
- Provide technical leadership and delivery governance for machine automation and Industrial Control Systems (ICS), with strong hands-on understanding of Siemens and Rockwell PLC ecosystems (hardware, architecture, and engineering lifecycle).
- Define and enforce automation engineering standards and deliverables, including: control narratives/functional descriptions, IO & instrument lists, signal mapping, PLC software standards (structure/naming/version control/backup-restore), HMI/SCADA standards (tag structure, screen standards, alarm philosophy, role-based access/security).
- Lead or govern automation lifecycle execution (directly or through integrators) design reviews, interface definition, FAT/SAT planning and execution, commissioning strategy, punch list management, go-live readiness, troubleshooting and stabilization support.
- Lead workstreams for MES/MOM integration, centralized SCADA, and process historian—from requirements to deployment and operational handover.
- Deployment & cutover plan, commissioning/FAT-SAT evidence (where applicable), BAU support model and documentation set.
- Provide technical leadership and delivery governance for machine automation and Industrial Control Systems (ICS), with strong hands-on understanding of Siemens and Rockwell PLC ecosystems (hardware, architecture, and engineering lifecycle).
- Govern and coordinate implementation of OT security controls (delivered by internal teams/vendors), including asset inventory coverage, access control/identity, secure remote access, patch/vulnerability management, backup/restore testing, logging/monitoring, and incident response readiness.
- Manage OT network/cyber vendors and partners: align SOW, milestones, quality gates, acceptance criteria, and handover; ensure documentation and support model are in place.
Large-Scale Project / Program & Vendor Management
- Lead large-scale transformation delivery across operations, owning the full lifecycle: scope, planning, governance cadence, RAID management, dependency management, resource coordination, vendor/partner management, and benefits realization.
- Manage vendors/partners (where applicable): define scope of work, align deliverables, control timelines/quality, manage issues/risks, and ensure smooth handover to operations.
- Drive cross-functional execution with Operations, Quality, Maintenance, Engineering, IT/OT, Data/Analytics, and external partners to ensure outcomes are delivered—not just designed.
- Establish program governance: steering routines, decision logs, status reporting, change control, and readiness gates.
- Ensure BAU readiness: operating model updates, SOP/standard work updates, training plans, hypercare, and sustainment mechanisms.
Change Management & Adoption
- Lead adoption planning and execution: stakeholder alignment, communication, training, resistance management, reinforcement routines.
- Track adoption and sustainment post go-live; trigger corrective actions when adherence/performance drifts.
Critical Experiences
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Automation/Control, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or related field (Master's preferred).
- 5-6 years experience in IT, Digital Manufacturing, Automation Transformation with exposure to MES/MOM, SCADA, historian, PLC/ICS, and industrial connectivity.
- Proven experience leading large-scale or multi-site programs/projects with cross-functional stakeholders and structured governance.
- Strong experience in multi-vendor management with acceptance-driven delivery and controlled change management.
- Solid experience with IT/OT convergence and industrial network/connectivity patterns; understanding of ISA-95 alignment is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated capability to define or govern OT cybersecurity resilience aligned to ISO 27001 / IEC 62443 (risk-based control approach).
- Strong stakeholder influence and communication ability—able to bridge executive strategy and plant execution.
Qualifications
- Strong understanding of the digital manufacturing stack: PLC/ICS, SCADA, historian, MES/MOM integration, and OT data fundamentals.
- Strong knowledge of industrial protocols/interfaces: OPC UA, Modbus, Profibus/Profinite, TCP/IP, 4–20 mA, HART, Fieldbus.
- Strong knowledge of OT security governance and controls; familiarity with ISO 27001 and IEC 62443 is required.
- Strong vendor/partner management capability (SOW, quality gates, acceptance criteria, CR control, and handover).
- Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and structured problem-solving mindset.
- Industry & Project Management Background: Strong project management background with experience in Banking, Manufacturing, Retail, or related industries; able to lead cross-functional delivery in complex organizations.
- Large-Scale Delivery Experience: Proven experience leading or delivering projects with budget of THB 20M+ and managing 100+ stakeholders, including senior leadership engagement and cross-department coordination.
- Structured Thinking: Demonstrated systematic and logical thinking, strong analytical capability, and structured problem-solving mindset.
- Stakeholder & Change Management: Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with strong experience driving change management and adoption across multi-level teams.
