- Improving plant reliability, performance and operational visibility
You’ll need strong EC&I experience gained within a highly automated process or heavy‑industrial environment such as power generation, Energy from Waste, chemical processing, petrochemical, oil and gas, renewable energy or utilities.
Essential experience includes:- HNC, HND, advanced apprenticeship or equivalent in Electrical, Control, Instrumentation or Automation Engineering
- Strong hands‑on instrumentation, calibration, loop checking and fault‑finding capability
- Practical experience modifying and diagnosing PLC‑based control systems
- Siemens Step7 Classic and TIA Portal

Comp Ex, ATEX, DSEAR, hazardous areas, Functional Safety, SIL, PCS7, IEC 62443, Beckhoff, Wago, Codesys or PI/OSIsoft would be highly advantageous.
This is a rare opportunity to become a key controls specialist within a growing renewable‑energy business. You’ll have the autonomy to solve complex engineering problems and directly influence plant safety, reliability and performance.
