Control Systems Engineer - PLC

Are you a Control Systems Engineer with solid PLC experience looking to step beyond routine tasks and take real ownership of engineering challenges?

You'll be involved across the full project lifecycle, working on complex, safety-critical systems from design through to testing and commissioning. Why Apply?

Work on complex, safety-critical projects - not repetitive maintenance work

Gain hands-on experience across multiple PLC platforms (not confined to a single vendor)

Be involved end-to-end, from initial design to live commissioning

What You'll Be Doing

Designing and developing PLC software using platforms such as

Rockwell (Studio 5000)

Siemens (TIA Portal)

Schneider (EcoStruxure)

Developing and configuring HMI / SCADA systems, including

Rockwell FactoryTalk View (ME/SE)

Schneider AVEVA, Citect, Vijeo Designer

Siemens WinCC / WinCC Flexible

Wonderware InTouch or similar platforms

Supporting full project delivery, including

Conceptual and detailed design

System build, development, and integration

Testing (Factory Acceptance Testing and Customer Acceptance Testing)

Supporting site installation, Site Acceptance Testing, and commissioning

Contributing to system validation, testing, diagnostics, and fault-finding

Producing high-quality technical documentation (design specifications, test documentation, user manuals)

Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, including electrical, mechanical, and project delivery functions

What We're Looking For Essential:

Degree or HND in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience)

Experience programming PLCs and/or SCADA systems in industrial environments

Familiarity with IEC 61131 programming languages

Experience supporting system testing, integration, or commissioning activities

Strong problem-solving and fault-finding skills

Ability to work effectively within collaborative project teams

Additional Information

Hybrid working, typically 2-3 days per week in the office (project dependent)

Flexible working hours to support work-life balance
