Working with HMIs, VSDs/inverters and other automation equipment
Identifying and implementing improvements to machine reliability and performance
Working closely with electrical and mechanical engineering teams
Supporting continuous improvement and automation projects
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally have:
A strong electrical engineering / electrician background
Proven experience working with industrial PLC-controlled machinery
Strong Mitsubishi PLC experience
The ability to write PLC programmes from scratch, not just modify existing code
Excellent electrical and PLC fault-finding skills
Experience reading electrical schematics and control drawings
A practical, hands-on approach to engineering and problem solving
Siemens PLC experience would also be advantageous, although Mitsubishi is the primary PLC platform.
Experience with HMIs, drives, servo systems, machine safety and commissioning would also be beneficial.
Why Apply?
£55,000 - 62,500 salary
Monday–Friday, days
Permanent position
Mirfield location
Hands-on Controls & Automation role
Opportunity to work with Mitsubishi PLC technology
Excellent opportunity for an electrically skilled engineer to further develop within controls and automation
The Ideal Candidate
This role could suit a Controls Engineer, PLC Engineer, Automation Engineer, Electrical & Controls Engineer, Electrical Automation Engineer, PLC Programmer or Electrical Engineer with strong controls experience.
We're particularly interested in candidates who have progressed from an Electrical / Electrician background into PLCs, Controls and Automation.
If you can combine strong electrical skills with genuine Mitsubishi PLC programming and fault-finding experience, we'd like to hear from you.
Apply today to find out more.
