Operational excellence is one of the four core strategic pillars of APM Terminals’ long-term strategy: “This is our platform for current and new terminals, where all value streams are standard, scalable, and replicable from acquisition, to construction, integration and all the way down to running a terminal”.
Implementing, optimizing and scaling Operations Technology will play a pivotal role in achieving our strategic goals, ranging from initiatives like implementing complex brownfield automation at fast pace to optimize manhours per move or efforts to optimize running-hours per move by deploying fit for purpose modular and scalable solutions in our more conventional terminals. To be successful, our terminals need to be supported by a focused, aligned and agile global team that adds value by Subject Matter Expertise, standardization and agile decision making.
As part of the Process Automation team within the Operations Technology function, the Product Development Coordinator plays a key role in designing, developing, testing and implementing process automation systems that are modular, scalable, agnostic, fast to implement and easy to integrate. This role will be crucial to follow process automation solutions new pillars where standardization, modularization and value generation will be our principles.
Additionally, the role will drive product development roadmaps aligning features development with value creation, supported by the product management coordinators and leads, design and create prototypes and proof of concepts aligned with the product development roadmap, identify possible risks and deviations and giving support during all product live phases.
Focus areas/main deliverables: Design, develop, test, implement IIoT solutions prototypes and proof of concepts (PoC), to digitize our assets and processes, enable real-time process automation solutions and enable other strategic initiatives using asset/process -related data.
Key stakeholders: OT PA Leads, OT PA Product Leads, OT PA Product Coordinators, Terminals, OEMs/suppliers, OT Process Automation in general, OT Optimisation, OT Process Design and Management, GLASS/Automation Support, Project Execution, Labour Excellence, Decarbonisation, FLOW, Lean, Asset Maintenance, OPS, HSSE and Finance.
Principal Accountabilities:
The Process Automation Product Development Coordinator will report to and work closely with the Process Automation, R&D and Product Integration Senior Manager during solution design phase, ensuring all the non-functional and functional requirements from the different stakeholders are considered and documented in the design.
The selected candidate will be responsible for assessing the market to identify potential COTS solutions and/or develop these internally in close collaboration with the Process Automation Product Leads and Coordinators and under the supervision of the Innovation, R&D and Product Integration Senior Manager.
The Process Automation Product Development Coordinator will create the solution design based on selected hardware/software elements, document the solution and fine-tune based on feedback from internal and external stakeholders.
Product Development Coordinator will be responsible for assembling the prototypes (or coordinate this via 3rd parties) and test the solution in internal test environments. Once tested, he / she will perform proof of concept testing in specified operational environments to prove solution viability. Operational testing will be performed together with other Process Automation team members, OT QA and the Product Development Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating this team throughout the testing phase.
Finally, Product Development Coordinator will ensure the required documentation is created according to the required documentation by internal stakeholders and ensure that the solution is correctly handed over to the different teams for productization, deployment and iteration across relevant terminals / assets in the portfolio.
The Product Development Coordinator needs to be available for travelling to different locations during short period of times to identify use cases, discuss the solution with relevant stakeholders, coordinate on-site testing, deploy the product, and troubleshoot issues if they occur.
