Job Description

Control Systems Engineers. Read this. It's time for something different.

You've been a part of a control systems engineering department, you've worked on some PLC HMI factory automation systems projects. But now, life is meetings, projects are samey, nothing's new, and you feel you're stifled, you could do more.

I'm offering a new challenge, to use that experience, join a developing controls company with a wide range of projects, no corporate guff - where you just engineer - just do control software - just do your thing - no meetings please - you design a range of PLC control factory automation projects and commission them on site in the UK - and you get involved in mentoring others and upskilling them, doing what someone once did for you.

It's also a chance to be part of a company as it grows to the next stage, and growing with it. The work is there, the customers like the company's strong reputation for no bull, control systems done to a high standard. The potential to keep growing something really good is there. It's just for you to take that leap of faith and join in.

What we need:

  • 4 years + in Control Systems Engineering design
  • PLC programming experience, HMI configuration - Siemens Tia Portal experience would be good
  • Ability to read electrical drawings
  • Happy to mix up Midlands/Office/Home based PLC HMI control systems software design, and then commissioning those factory automation systems solutions on UK customer sites.
  • Ability to work on your own projects with no micro-management, from start to finish.
  • Happy to share your knowledge with less experienced team engineers, and upskill them.
  • Permanent right to work in the UK- visa sponsorship cannot be given now or in the future.

What you’ll get:

It's a new job in a growing company, so salary is not totally fixed yet. Some of this is down to you to negotiate. But if I say £50,000 basic salary, it gives you a starting point. Plus benefits.

Commutable from Rugby, Coventry, Leamington, Daventry, etc.
