Commissioning Engineer

Instrument Commissioning Engineer  Yorkshire  Home Based  £45-55k + Overtime + Excellent Benefits
Samuel Frank is recruiting for an Instrument Commissioning Engineer to join a well-established engineering business working on a long-term programme of water and wastewater projects across Yorkshire.
The successful Instrument Commissioning Engineer will be home based and need to live in Yorkshire. Youll travel directly from home to sites across the region, with work planned geographically wherever possible to minimise unnecessary travelling.
This is a site-based commissioning role rather than a PLC software position. Youll be working across clean water and wastewater sites, pumping stations and other water infrastructure, commissioning and calibrating instrumentation and supporting ICA/OT projects.
The company is also open to considering someone earlier in their career who has completed an electrical apprenticeship and gained a few years relevant experience and is now looking for the next step.
Key aspects of the Instrument Commissioning Engineer role include:
Instrument commissioning, configuration, calibration and testing
Working with instrumentation including flow meters, ultrasonic level measurement and radar instrumentation
Site surveys to establish requirements for upcoming projects
Working alongside installation subcontractors and supervising ICA/SCADA contractors
Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), configuration auditing and commissioning
Exposure to PLCs, SCADA, HMIs, telemetry, OT networks and associated control systems
Working with clients, contractors and other engineering disciplines throughout project delivery
Typically on site around 8:00-8:30am and on normal days expect to be leaving around 3:30-4:00pm
Paid overtime when projects require additional hours, although extensive overtime isnt expected
The successful Instrument Commissioning Engineer will need:
An electrical qualification or recognised electrical apprenticeship  this is essential
An instrumentation, ICA, electrical or process control background
Hands-on site commissioning experience
Experience configuring, testing or calibrating industrial instrumentation
Ideally have knowledge of PLC, SCADA and HMI systems
A willingness to work outdoors on operational sites throughout the year
Good communication skills and the ability to work directly with clients and contractors
Candidates dont necessarily need to come directly from the water industry. Engineers from other process, instrumentation, industrial automation or control environments will be considered where they have the right electrical background and practical site experience.
Benefits include:
£45-55k basic salary
Paid overtime
Company pension (above auto-enrolment)
Private medical insurance
Discretionary annual bonus
Life assurance
25 days holiday + bank holidays
Option to purchase up to 5 additional days holiday
Payment of two relevant professional subscriptions
Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme
Ongoing training and development
This position could suit an Instrument Commissioning Engineer, ICA Engineer, EC&I Engineer, Instrument Technician or electrically biased Commissioning Engineer who enjoys being out on site rather than spending the majority of their week in the office!
