Controls Engineer – Bespoke Automation / Systems Integration
Cheshire / Warrington Area (Hybrid + Site Travel)
I’m recruiting for a Controls Engineer to join a growing automation business delivering bespoke material handling and integrated automation systems across the UK.
The work is varied and project-led, covering the full lifecycle from PLC / HMI development through to commissioning, customer handover and ongoing support.

Commissioning and fault finding on customer sites
*
FAT, SAT and system handover

They’re looking for somebody with:
*
Experience within industrial automation, systems integration or special purpose machinery
*
Strong PLC background with Siemens and/or Rockwell
