Imagine working at the forefront of innovation in fluid-flow technology, with over 1400 colleagues across the globe, and contributing to a legacy of excellence that spans eight manufacturing facilities on four continents. Armstrong Fluid Technology is more than just a leader in our industry; we are a community of the brightest and most creative minds, driven by a shared mission to engineer the future and safeguard our planet.

As a member of our team, you'll dive into an environment that encourages learning and boundary-pushing every day. You'll be part of an agile and dynamic workplace where today's solutions are built for tomorrow's challenges.

The Control System Design Engineer will manage engineering design drawing revision control and work closely with customers to update drawings, review P&, block diagrams, and schematics, ensuring all technical files are accurately uploaded to the database.

The role includes overseeing the engineering change control process and maintaining up-to-date documentation of all process modifications, changes, and improvements within the BOM structure and routing system to ensure full traceability.

The engineer will also develop and implement structured methodologies for New Product Introduction (NPI) to support a seamless transition from design to full-scale production and actively participate in DFMA workshops to support value engineering (VA/VE) and the standardization of products.

We invite applications from experienced Control System Design Engineers with a background in building services or industrial control systems.

• Act as the Design Authority for controls engineering projects, promoting shared standards, design consistency, and continuous improvement.
• Design and develop control panel hardware, electrical schematics, and control system software using industry-standard design tools.
• Produce and review Sequences of Operation, specifications, schematics, BOMs, and technical documentation.
• Manage design revisions, engineering change control, and maintain accurate documentation and traceability.
• Attend client and internal design review meetings, providing technical support throughout the project lifecycle.
• Conduct Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and support Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and commissioning activities as required.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI), DFMA workshops, value engineering (VA/VE), and product standardisation initiatives.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, project management, and customers to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced engineering environment.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation of all process modifications, changes, and improvements within the BOM structure and routing system, ensuring full traceability.

Production Support:

• Provide proactive technical support to production teams to ensure seamless execution of build plans, minimizing downtime and ensuring smooth operations.
• Collaborate with production personnel to troubleshoot issues and develop robust, timely solutions.
• Collaborate with production personnel to troubleshoot problems and develop solutions.
• Manage the Non-Conformance Report (NCR) process to address defects and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations, embedding best practices within production processes to uphold workplace safety and operational integrity.
• Ensure accurate and up-to-date documentation of all process modifications, changes, and improvements within BOM structure and routing system, maintaining full traceability.

To thrive in this role, you should bring:

• Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Experience in industrial control systems, control panel design, and automation solutions.
• Strong understanding of electrical control systems,…
