Precision matters here.
If you're someone who gets satisfaction from making things run just right — and you’ve got an eye for instrumentation, furnaces, and control systems — then this could be your ideal role.
You’ll be joining a world-class engineering site that’s invested in high-tech kit and committed to safety, performance, and continuous improvement.
What you’ll be doing: Instrumentation & Controls Technician
* Carrying out fault-finding and maintenance on control systems, instrumentation, and furnace equipment (VIM, VAR, ESR, heat treatment lines, etc.).
* Running compliance work — including calibrations, TUS and SAT testing.
* Supporting PLC and Burner Management Systems fault diagnostics.
* Creating and sticking to PPM schedules to keep plant uptime high.
* Logging everything through the site CMMS and using it for diagnosis.
* Collaborating with engineers, OEM partners, and the wider site team.
* Suggesting improvements on spares, systems, and lean processes.
What we’re looking for: Instrumentation & Controls Technician
* Background in medium to heavy manufacturing or similar industrial setting.
* Strong understanding of instrumentation, control logic, and diagnostics.
* Ability to read electrical & mechanical schematics and trend recordings.
* Comfortable with furnaces, sensors, calibration, and compliance routines.
* PC literate and confident with CMMS tools.
* Qualifications like NVQ, ONC, HNC, or equivalent in engineering.
