PLC Controls & Commissioning Engineer 

Due to an expanding order book for PLC, Electrical, Industrial Automation Systems, we're seeking a skilled engineer to join my customers' engineering team in a dual-focused role combining office-based  PLC programming  with  hands-on site commissioning across the UK and Europe.

What You'll Do

Office-Based (25% of time):

  • PLC programming control software using Siemens S7 TIA systems (sometimes assisting Senior Controls Engineers, maybe gaining more PLC software exposure, adding to your skills).
  • Perform system modifications and upgrades, debugging, fault finding.
  • Work from the Company's Northamptonshire facility

Site-Based Commissioning (75% of time):

  • Commission electrical and control systems for new materials handling projects
  • Verify electrical and mechanical installations
  • Download and modify PLC software on-site
  • Conduct electrical reworking and control panel checks
  • Oversee initial production runs and provide customer training
  • Manage project handovers to clients

Travel requirements: 10-14 days for European projects, shorter durations for UK site visits

The Company Offers

  • Competitive salary up to £51,000
  • Plus Paid overtime opportunities
  • 33 days annual leave
  • Pension contributions
  • Comprehensive benefits package

What We're Looking For

  • Electrical engineering background
  • PLC software programming experience - design ideally, but PLC skills/ wish to learn more also good 
  • Site-based commissioning capabilities
  • Understanding of machinery and automation systems
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a small project team

Which other Engineers have done well in this Company? Engineers with backgrounds in Warehouse Automation, Conveyors, Canning, Packaging, Food & Beverage, or general PLC automated machinery have excelled in this role.

Commutable from: Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Leicester, Market Harborough, or Peterborough - all convenient for commuting distances.
