Covalent has the ambition to grow further. Therefore we have room for experienced and less experienced System Architects for 32 - 40 hours per week. 

What will you do? 

As a System Architect, you are responsible for the design and realization of the integral control system within an infrastructural or industrial project. 

You will work in a team with consultants from other disciplines (mechanical engineering, civil engineering) with the joint goal of realizing a functional and safe system. This system contains an operating and control layer, as well as components such as communication and vision systems and supporting ICT applications.

In the team, you are the one who brings together and manages the project in terms of technical content. You are the content partner of the Technical Manager in your area of expertise. 

You have an independent position and advise the project on the most appropriate solutions within the framework of the project objective. You do not avoid discussions, you bridge differences of opinion and thus bring the people and the systems within a project together. You are alert to possible risks that may arise and take action accordingly. Working for the client, you supervise the contractor's work and validate whether all requirements are met. 

As a system architect, you will be involved in large and complex projects. Your needs and the expertise you bring will determine where you get to work.
