You're a Maintenance Engineer with good PLC fault finding skills, or a site factory Automation Engineer with PLC skills wanting more variety, no shift work, a chance to stretch those PLC controls skills, and work on a few different sites from automotive to food processing and brewery. You don't mind driving to sites, but you'd prefer to keep it local, to be home each night. That is what this is.

My customer is growing. They assist maintenance teams on factory sites by using their Engineering and automation, PLC skills to help to find and rectify problems with automated machinery, to upgrade PLC systems, to add the capability to work on PLC control software, drives, motors, controls, sensors fault finding that the site sometimes lacks. Having won several new customer sites to look after in the East Midlands and East Anglia, they need an extra PLC Service Support Engineer to go to site, use your PLC fault finding skills, electrical maintenance ability, automation skills to trace, repair and add value to the site automation.

You: As a Maintenance Engineer or site Automation Technician, you’ve worked with one of the main PLC’s (maybe you’ve got a grasp of Siemens TIA Portal, S7, WinCC, or Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation, Omron, Mitsubishi for example). You don’t need to be a PLC programmer, fault finding, hands-on skills, an interest in fixing production machinery, going deeper into control systems as you go along. Living Leicester, Northampton, Coventry, Rugby, Market Harborough, Peterborough area would be ideal. Most of your customer sites will be in that area.

Rewards: A basic salary from £42000 - £46000, a 40 hour working week, with paid overtime above that, company vehicle, plus a benefits package.
