PLC Technician

A leading global engineering and automation organisation is building a next-generation control system platform designed to standardise and modernise conveyor and material-handling operations across large-scale fulfilment and distribution facilities worldwide. The first deployment is already underway, with many more planned.

We are launching a Controls Engineering Academy
: a structured programme that takes early-career electrical and controls engineers, provides intensive training on industry-leading controls platforms and processes, and deploys them into engineering teams working on real-world projects.

• An intensive onsite bootcamp led by professional instructors covering the platform, processes, tools, and software workflow
• Deployment into engineering teams on live projects: reading control-area drawings, building and testing configurations that bring conveyor systems to life, and supporting commissioning activities
• Monthly structured learning and professional development throughout your first year
• A verifiable professional accreditation on completion
• Real experience on one of the most significant industrial controls transformation programmes in the industry, with potential long-term career opportunities for high performers

• Translate electrical drawings and I/O lists into application configurations
• Test configurations in simulation and on real hardware, including industrial networks, motorised rollers, sensors, and safety I/O devices
• Support commissioning activities as facilities go live
• Work using modern software engineering practices including Git, code reviews, daily standups, and effort estimation

• Degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or equivalent hands‑on experience as a Controls Technician or PLC Programmer (approximately 0‑4 years)
• Hands‑on PLC exposure on any platform, including Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff, CODESYS, B&R, or Schneider
• Comfortable reading schematics, wiring diagrams, and I/O lists
• Some programming experience in any language, with an interest in learning text-based programming and version control
• Curious, hands‑on, and naturally inclined to troubleshoot and solve technical problems
• Able to travel or relocate for training and project deployments as required
• Bonus: conveyor or material‑handling experience, Structured Text, AutoCAD Electrical, commissioning, Git, or Linux
