Control System Engineer

Tired of feeling like just another cog in the machine?

Here’s your chance to join a close knit team where everyone has each other’s backs and your ideas actually get heard.

This company prides itself on being more like a family than a hierarchy, where apprentices, engineers and directors all pull together towards the same goal. If you’re confident in your abilities but humble enough to help others along the way, you’ll fit right in.

They’re now looking for an experienced Control Systems Engineer to take projects from initial concept right through to commissioning, true cradle to grave engineering at its best. You’ll report directly to the Operations Manager and work closely with the Technical Director, collaborating to deliver high quality solutions every step of the way. You’ll also be mentoring an apprentice, so someone who enjoys sharing knowledge and supporting others will feel right at home.

You’ll be involved in designing control panels using AutoCAD Electrical, although Eplan experience is equally welcome. On the controls side, you’ll need to be comfortable programming PLCs from scratch, ideally using Mitsubishi, but Siemens or Rockwell experience would also fit nicely. Around 20% of your time will be spent on commissioning, mainly within the UK, with the occasional short trip to Europe or Canada.

Any experience with robotics, servo motors, inverters, vision systems or Kuka, Kawasaki and Mitsubishi robots would be a real advantage, but if not, they’re happy to teach the right person.

This is a small business of around fifteen people that designs and builds bespoke automation and control systems for industries including pharmaceutical, aerospace, automotive and general manufacturing. They’re trusted by major names, yet still maintain that informal, family feel where everyone’s voice counts.

You’ll receive a salary of up to £65,000 along with flexible hours, hybrid working when needed, paid overtime and full sick pay. There’s also a pension scheme and, perhaps most importantly, a genuine commitment to personal progression as they’ll create a development plan tailored to what drives you.

If you’re looking for an environment where you can make a real impact and be part of something that feels personal, this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
