This is an opportunity to join a highly respected manufacturer where the team and culture genuinely set them apart. People stay here — and for good reason. Retention across site is exceptional because they invest in their people, listen to ideas, and create an environment where engineers are trusted and valued.



The Role



You’ll play a key part in maintaining, improving and developing control systems across a busy manufacturing site. This isn’t a “keep the lights on” position, you’ll be encouraged to challenge the status quo and bring forward innovative ideas that improve performance, reliability and efficiency.

PLC interrogation and diagnostics

Fault finding and system troubleshooting

Software modifications and rewriting programmes

Supporting upgrades and improvements

You’ll be empowered to take ownership, drive improvements and see your ideas implemented.



What They’re Looking For



A can-do attitude and proactive mindset

A self-starter who takes initiative

Strong fault-finding and problem-solving ability

Experience with Allen Bradley and Siemens PLCs

Electrical background with controls experience

This role would suit:



An Electrical Engineer ready to step up into a more controls-led position

An experienced Controls Engineer looking to broaden their skill set and develop further

Why Join?



✔ Established, stable and forward-thinking manufacturer

✔ Culture built on trust, collaboration and respect

✔ Real autonomy and ownership of projects

✔ Long-term career progression opportunities
