ABOUT BENJAMIN AMOSS
I am a licensed Professional Engineer, Certified Automation Professional, and Project Management Professional with a career built on the architecture of complex industrial systems. My experience is defined by the transition between high-level strategy and technical execution, particularly for large-scale capital projects and programs.I specialize in the pre-engineering phase of a project lifecycle. My role is to act as the technical architect for the client, designing the digital roadmap and automation strategy long before a project is handed over to the execution teams. I prioritize long-term collaboration over simple transactions; I stay engaged with my clients to ensure that the solutions we design remain resilient and effective as their operations scale.My background covers a diverse industrial landscape, allowing me to apply rigorous engineering standards across very different environments:Life Sciences: Leading Subject Matter Expert work for aseptic filling, biological processing, and GxP-compliant facilities.Agriculture & Food Processing: Designing and optimizing systems for feed milling, aquaculture, and large-scale protein production.Heavy Industry: Managing global infrastructure modernizations and sitewide integration for concrete manufacturing and general industrial sites.Currently, I am focused on building a specialized Cybersecurity team dedicated to protecting Operational Technology. I believe that modern automation is only as valuable as it is secure, and I work to bridge the gap between industrial efficiency and robust security standards. Whether navigating a sterile cleanroom or a rugged manufacturing plant, my goal is to ensure the digital foundation is built to last.
