@olaidemogaji
Automation and Controls Engineer improving industrial reliability through PLC, SCADA, and process optimization for measurable quality gains.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Automation and Controls Engineer with over 5 years of experience in manufacturing, marine, and service industries, passionate about automation that streamlines processes, improves quality, and drives innovation. I focus on creating sustainable solutions with real impact, supported by strong engineering, operations, and team management capabilities.
In my recent work, I led PLC migration from S7-200 to S7-1200 for an electrolysis control panel, commissioned SCADA for a Waste Heat Recovery unit with a 1.83MW turbine, recalibrated an ABB packaging robot to increase production, and managed decommissioning, relocation, and recommissioning of a sanitizer bottling line. I also commissioned pressure transmitters for real-time tank level monitoring and directed technical procurement of PLC components for industrial generators, while earlier roles strengthened my execution through production KPI management, preventive/corrective maintenance, and project planning with QA/QC and risk mitigation.
