We are currently looking for a Control Systems Engineer to join the team based in Birchwood Park, Warrington.

We're looking for a Control Systems Engineer with solid PLC experience who wants to move beyond routine work and take ownership of real engineering challenges.

This is a mid-level role (typically 3-7 years' experience), ideal for someone ready to step up-broadening their technical exposure across multiple platforms and progressing toward a Senior Engineer position.

You'll work across the full project lifecycle, from design through to commissioning, on complex, safety-critical systems.

• Work on complex, safety-critical systems-not repetitive maintenance work

• Gain hands-on experience across multiple PLC platforms (not siloed into one vendor)

• Be involved end-to-end-from initial design through to live commissioning

• Clear and supported progression path to Senior Engineer

• Learn from experienced engineers in a technically strong team

What You'll Be Doing

Design and develop PLC software using platforms such as:

• Rockwell (Studio 5000)

• Siemens (TIA Portal)

• Schneider (EcoStruxure)

and/or

Develop and configure HMI / SCADA systems

• Rockwell FactoryTalk View (ME/SE)

• Schneider AVEVA / Citect / Vijeo Designer

• Siemens WinCC / Flex

• Intouch Wonderware or similar

Support full project delivery:

• Concept and detailed design

• System build, development and integration

• Testing. Both Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) & Customer Acceptance Testing (CAT)

• Support Site Installation, Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) & Commissioning

Contribute to system validation, testing, and troubleshooting activities

Produce high-quality technical documentation (design specs, test docs, user manuals)

Work closely with multidisciplinary teams (electrical, mechanical, project delivery)
