TELEMETRY CONFIGURATION / TESTING ENGINEER

Kings Lynn

The Company:

Dodd Group was formed in 1947 in Shropshire and has remained a privately owned family business ever since. With an unrivalled reputation within the building services sector, we offer a comprehensive electrical and mechanical design, installation and maintenance service across many sectors.

The role:

The King’s Lynn branch of Dodd Group is expanding its Telemetry Configuration Team that configures, tests and supports the installation of microprocessor-based telemetry outstations on water utility sites.

The role demands accuracy, an eye for detail, a diligent nature and an affinity for technology, computing and problem‑solving. Competence and confidence with MS Office are necessary – particularly Excel. Experience of telemetry, PLC systems, instrumentation or similar systems will be a distinct advantage.

The preferred candidates will be capable of carrying out activities such as:

• ‘Desktop surveys’ of I/O, control and communications requirements based on existing outstation configurations.
• Remapping outstation and PLC data from existing templates to new ones.
• Recreating modular and bespoke control and signal conditioning software code using commercial (e.g. Straton, RSLogix) and proprietary applications.
• Functional testing of configured hardware at works.
• ‘Top‑end’ support of outstation installation and commissioning.
• Carrying out periodic quality checks of data from newly-installed outstations.
• Creating/updating outstation mimics (interactive process diagrams) on the ‘top‑end’ system.

You will receive full training on the telemetry equipment and software tools.

The Package:

You will be working for a company who will offer you a structured opportunity to progress your career and offer continued support and training.

You will receive a competitive salary, life cover, pension, 21 days per year annual leave (plus public holidays).

You’ll be working in a friendly, inclusive environment where people understand the value of their contribution and are encouraged to recognise a job well done. You’ll be part of an open, engaged culture where everyone has a voice and the opportunity to get involved, as well as make a real difference.

Dodd Group is proud to be a forces friendly employer
