We’re recruiting for a multi-skilled Control Systems Engineer to join a leading engineering business delivering bespoke control and automation systems across diverse sectors including food, chemical, nuclear, and manufacturing.
This is a hands-on, multi-faceted role ideal for an engineer who’s comfortable working across software development, technical documentation, fault-finding, and wider project support. You’ll be part of a tight-knit, fast-paced team developing one-off control systems and machines – no two projects are the same.
You'll work closely with sales and project teams, supporting with technical input, functional design specs, FAT documentation, and system commissioning. The role is predominantly office-based due to the custom nature of the systems, with occasional travel for testing or commissioning support.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design and develop PLC/HMI software (Siemens, Mitsubishi, Allen-Bradley)
* Create and maintain technical documentation (FDS, SDS, FAT protocols)
* Support internal testing and customer factory acceptance tests
* Assist with fault-finding, software upgrades, and configuration
* Provide technical insight across project lifecycle and customer requirements
Essential Skills & Experience:
* Proven experience in PLC and HMI programming
* Comfortable producing and working with technical documentation
* Able to troubleshoot and support bespoke automation systems
Benefits:
* Salary: £45,000 to £55,000 DOE
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays (rising to 27 after 5 years)
* Core hours with flexible start/finish times
* Early finish every Friday
* Pension scheme
* Annual company social day
* Accolade reward scheme
* Employee referral bonus
* Cycle to work scheme
* Training and development covered by company
If you're an experienced Control Systems or Controls Project Engineer who enjoys end-to-end involvement and thrives in a fast-moving environment, this could be your next career step.
