The Role
We are looking for a Control Systems Engineer to join our growing team.
This is a hands-on, site-based role — not just sat behind a screen. You’ll be involved across the full
lifecycle of our machines:
• Software design and programming
• Electrical build and panel assembly
• R&D and development work
• On-site installation and commissioning (UK & worldwide)
No two days are the same. You’ll be working on bespoke machinery, solving real-world problems, and
seeing your work come to life on customer sites.
For someone who enjoys variety, ownership, and practical engineering, this is a genuinely interesting
and rewarding role.
This role offers genuine progression as our systems and product range continue to develop — with
increasing involvement in design, innovation, and customer-facing engineering.

• The position will involve worldwide travel of up to 2 weeks at a time to support the installation of
new machine designs on site.

progression.

What It’s Like to Work Here
We’re not a corporate environment — and we don’t pretend to be.
• Small, experienced team where your work actually matters
• Direct involvement in machine design, not just small pieces of it
• Strong focus on R&D and continuous improvement
• Real engineering challenges — not repetitive production work
• Opportunity to travel and see your machines running in the real world
• A business that values practical thinking and problem solving over theory
If you enjoy:
• Getting stuck in
• Seeing things through from concept to commissioning
• Working on genuinely bespoke equipment
...you’ll fit in here.
This role is NOT for you if:
• You only want a desk-based programming role
• You don’t enjoy hands-on electrical work
• You’re not open to occasional worldwide travel
• You prefer repetitive production work over problem solving
