Warrington | Hybrid - 3 days on site
£51-£55/hour | Inside IR35

Are you a CE&I Control System Design Engineer with strong experience in Programmable Electronic Systems (PES)? This is an excellent opportunity to join the Silos MSSS SEP 1 & 2 programme, contributing to a nationally significant, safety-critical project within a highly regulated environment.

You'll be embedded within the CE&I design team, focused on the design, update and verification of PES-based control systems. While implementation, testing and commissioning are delivered by dedicated site teams, your work will be fundamental in ensuring designs are robust, compliant and ready for safe delivery.

• Supporting other engineers in the delivery of high-quality CE&I design outputs
• Working collaboratively across disciplines to ensure integrated design solutions
• Producing clear, compliant documentation aligned with relevant engineering standards
• Providing technical support to Commissioning teams as required
• Supporting and mentoring early-career engineers

This is a design-focused role, ideal for engineers who enjoy technical ownership without the need for on-site implementation responsibilities.

• Minimum HNC (or equivalent) in an engineering discipline
• Incorporated Engineer status (or working towards)
• 3+ years' experience delivering PES-based Control System designs on external multi-discipline projects
• Proven experience from concept design through to handover
• Working knowledge of relevant engineering standards
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience providing support to Commissioning
• Willingness to support and develop junior engineers

• 5+ years' experience delivering PES-based Control System design on external and/or SL multi-discipline projects
• Strong understanding of design updates to existing control systems in regulated environments
• A pragmatic, solutions-driven engineering approach

• Competitive £51-£55/hour (Inside IR35)
• Hybrid working - 3 days on site in Warrington
• Long-term, high-profile role on a major nuclear infrastructure programme
• Strong, experienced design team with real technical depth
• Opportunity to influence critical control system designs while mentoring others
