Senior Process Control Engineer

Process Control Engineer (Hybrid Working)

Location: Portsmouth, Hampshire

An ambitious clean‑tech company is on a mission to make innovative energy storage the global standard. Enabling manufacturers, industrial processors, and heavy‑energy users to decarbonise at scale.

As part of their growth, they’re looking for a Process Control Engineer to take ownership of the control logic, instrumentation, and system architecture behind a next‑generation thermal energy storage steam generator. This is a pivotal opportunity to shape a first‑of‑its‑kind industrial product as it moves through design, prototype optimisation, and deployment into real customer sites.

Become the internal authority on control sequences, fluids system control, and instrumentation — guiding the operability, safety, and performance of a breakthrough energy system. You’ll work across concept design, detailed engineering, prototype testing, and customer‑site integration.

• Shape the full control architecture of a new industrial clean‑energy product
• Influence how the system operates, responds, and manages faults across all conditions
• Work closely with fluids, mechanical, and automation specialists to ensure seamless system behaviour
• Play a hands‑on role in prototype optimisation and commissioning on real industrial sites

• Own the complete control logic and operating sequences for the thermal storage steam generator
• Design high‑level control strategies to maximise system operability, safety, and performance
• Specify instrumentation and controls hardware including valves, VFDs, pressure/temperature sensors, flow meters, and safety devices
• Proven experience designing complete control sequences for complex or novel industrial systems
• Strong knowledge of industrial fluids systems (valves, pumps, piping), ideally including steam processes, especially from a controls perspective
• Strong knowledge of fluids instrumentation and control hardware

You’ll be part of a mission‑driven, supportive team working toward a cleaner industrial future. Expect an informal, inclusive culture where every voice is valued. Flexible working, share options, and family‑friendly policies are all part of the offering.
