About Ferbos
Ferbos Kreasi Digital integrates Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) to accelerate Indonesia's energy transition through smart energy management and building automation.
We develop and deploy IoT-based energy solutions that connect sensors, controllers, and gateways for HVAC, lighting, and power monitoring, fully integrated with ERP for digitalized operations.
We deliver end-to-end solutions — from hardware installation to software integration — using open-source technologies including Home Assistant, Node-RED, TimescaleDB, and Grafana.
We are building a compact, high-performance team and seeking a Project Engineer to manage the complete lifecycle of IoT and building automation implementation projects from planning through commissioning and handover.
Role Purpose
To plan, execute, and deliver IoT and building automation projects from initial site survey through hardware installation, system integration, software configuration, testing, commissioning, and customer handover.
This role combines project coordination (planning, scheduling, resource management) with hands-on technical execution (site supervision, installation oversight, integration testing, system commissioning) to ensure successful delivery of smart building solutions for commercial clients.
