Senior Systems Engineer - Lead Engineer (Coventry or Warrington, Hybrid)
We’re hiring two experienced Senior Systems Engineers to join our UK Process Automation Delivery team, supporting industrial automation projects across sectors such as Water, Renewables, Oil & Gas and Critical Infrastructure.
Based from either Coventry or Warrington, you will work on project delivery from requirements gathering to commissioning. You will lead technical delivery on automation and SCADA projects (especially using Geo SCADA), support structured testing, site visits, and mentor junior engineers. You will also interact closely with customers, ensuring expectations are met across functionality, documentation, and timelines.
We work in a hybrid model, with 2 to 3 days per week in the office and occasional travel to UK customer sites. Travel is minimal – occasional site visits and customer meetings only.
This is a hands‑on role, ideal for engineers with strong project lifecycle knowledge, SCADA or telemetry experience, and the confidence to lead technical delivery without supervision. Geo SCADA experience is a bonus, not a must.
Responsibilities
• Lead technical delivery on automation and SCADA projects.
• Support structured testing, site visits and mentoring of junior engineers.
• Interact with customers to ensure functional, documentation and timeline expectations are met.
• Participate in requirements gathering, project planning and commissioning activities.
• Contribute to project cost, quality and schedule goals.
Qualifications
* Strong written and spoken English communication skills.
* Proven experience of SCADA, telemetry, computer networking and software engineering; experience with Geo SCADA (formerly SCX6, ClearSCADA) and/or other SCADA solutions.
* Understanding of AVEVA PI System (formerly OSI PI) and/or other AVEVA solutions desirable.
* Ability to work in a project environment, either leading or working under the direction of a lead engineer, to meet defined cost, quality and time goals governed by the Project Manager.
* Experience in digital communications.
* Experience with cloud technologies.
Benefits
Competitive salary & bonus scheme, 28 days annual leave + public holidays, pension scheme, employee share ownership programme, health and wellbeing support options, gym flex, internal mobility opportunities, discounts, learning portal and more.
