Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohann Du Toit is an experienced Automation Engineer with 14 years designing and commissioning industrial control and MOM/MES solutions across food, pharma, and utilities in New Zealand. He combines hands-on PLC, HMI and Java development with GMP and FTPC/MOM domain expertise to deliver robust automation, serialization and traceability systems for production-critical environments. Johann excels at translating operational requirements into maintainable server-oriented architectures, user interfaces and automated commissioning tools, and routinely provides out-of-hours support during plant rollouts. He’s known for cross-pollinating best practices between projects—whether generating ControlLogix code from functional diagrams or building Vaadin/Spring-Boot diagnostics for go-live issues.

Outside formal roles he’s likely “probably building something” and approaches problems with a calm, coffee-first mindset.
