PLC Engineer - Preston (onsite) with flexible start and finish times - £50,000-£80,000 DOE
We’re looking for a hands-on PLC Electrical Technician to join our clients team. This role demands strong electrical troubleshooting capabilities and a solid understanding of industrial automation systems. If you have experience working with Allen Bradley PLCs—particularly ladder logic—you’ll hit the ground running. While machine vision and robotics experience are a plus, they are more than ready to invest in your training if you bring the right electrical skills to the table.
Key Responsibilities:
• Diagnose and resolve complex electrical issues involving motors, sensors, and automation systems
• Program, debug, and modify Allen Bradley PLCs (primarily ladder logic)
• Maintain safety standards and implement best practices across electrical systems
• Support continuous improvement and preventative maintenance projects
Essential Skills & Experience:
• Strong background in electrical troubleshooting in industrial settings
• Hands-on experience with PLCs—especially Allen Bradley and ladder logic
• Familiarity with safety protocols and electrical compliance requirements
• Comfortable working around high-volume equipment with motors and sensors
• Willingness to learn robotic systems and vision tools
Nice to Have (or Willing to Train):
• Experience with Universal Robots or collaborative robotics platforms
• Exposure to Cognex or Mech-Mind machine vision systems
