This East Midlands based engineering business is looking for a hands-on, customer-facing PLC Software Engineer to join their expert team. Working on both standard and one-off projects, you’ll take ownership of software development from concept through to commissioning – including regular travel across Europe (up to 25%).

* Supporting integration of safety systems, CE marking, and regulatory compliance

* Collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and controls teams to deliver right-first-time solutions

* Strong PLC programming experience – ideally with Siemens and/or Allen Bradley

* Experience with HMI/SCADA development

* Excellent problem-solving and communication skills – confident working with customers

* Willingness to travel internationally (Europe-based projects)

* Hands-on engineering mindset – this is not a desk-only role

* Any exposure to C#, Python, or machine safety/CE regulations is a strong plus

What’s on Offer

* £55,000 salary + travel allowance

* Varied, challenging projects with no two days the same

* Genuine ownership of your work and technical freedom

* Opportunity to travel and work directly with international clients

* Friendly, knowledgeable team in a business where your input matters
