Hamburg


The Krebs Group is a family-owned company based in Hamburg with extensive experience in industrial services dating back to 1949. Under the motto “Clear. Strong. Nordic,” we stand for reliability, healthy growth, and open, team-oriented collaboration. With approximately 550 employees across more than 15 locations, we are shaping the future together.

We are developing a game-changing robotic painting solution for the monopile industry and are looking for a highly skilled Lead Automation & Controls Engineer (m/w/d) to take technical ownership of the control and software architecture. 

This role is ideal for someone with deep experience in block-based and industrial automation programming who can build, test, and optimise robust software for a complex robotic system operating in demanding industrial environments.



Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the design, development, and maintenance of the robot control software for an industrial painting system.
  • Program and configure block-based control logic and automation sequences for robotic movement, paint application, safety interlocks, and process monitoring.
  • Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and process engineers to translate system requirements into reliable and scalable software solutions.
  • Develop, test, debug, and optimise robot programs for accuracy, repeatability, coating quality, and cycle-time performance.
  • Integrate robot programming with PLCs, HMIs, sensors, drives, 3D scanning, and other industrial control components.
  • Support commissioning, factory testing, and on-site start-up of robotic systems.
  • Troubleshoot complex software and controls issues during development and deployment.
  • Establish programming standards, documentation practices, and version control for the project.
  • Mentor other programmers and contribute to the long-term software architecture of the platform.
  • Ensure software design aligns with industrial safety, reliability, and maintainability requirements.


Required Qualifications

  • Strong experience in industrial automation programming, robotics, or control systems engineering.
  • Advanced skills in block-based or function block style programming for industrial applications.
  • Solid understanding of PLC programming, industrial communication protocols, and system integration.
  • Experience programming or commissioning robotic systems in manufacturing or heavy industry environments.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills with the ability to work across software, controls, and hardware interfaces.
  • Experience with motion control, safety systems, and sensor integration.
  • Ability to work hands-on in a fast-paced development environment and support testing on real equipment.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to lead technical decisions across a multidisciplinary team.
  • Skilled in English writing and verbal communication

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with robotic block stage programming.
  • Background in heavy industry, offshore, steel fabrication, or large-scale automated machinery.
  • 3D scanning software experience.
  • Familiarity with ABB, KUKA, FANUC, or similar industrial robot platforms.
  • Experience leading software delivery from concept through commissioning.


System overview

  • Rail based linear painting robot for XXXL Monopiles custom design for heavy and complexed painting systems.
  • 3D scanning of the object for grid mapping
  • Encoders and sensors to monitor up to 13 axes.
  • Robot is linear on rails, object is rotating.
  • All hardware is programmed in “block stage” to be able to easy replace different hardware to avoid total reprogramming.
  • Full quality assurance-report of the whole process.

Why Join Us

This is an opportunity to help shape a breakthrough robotics solution for a major industrial market. You will play a leading role in building a high-impact product from the ground up, working with advanced robotics, automation, and process technology to transform how monopiles are coated at industrial scale.
