About the Opportunity:

We have existing Teams out of Birchwood Park, Warrington, Cumbria and Newcastle North East, where we can manage hybrid working, with occasional site visits.

We’re looking for a Control Systems Engineer with solid PLC experience who wants to move beyond routine work and take ownership of real engineering challenges. This is a mid-level role (typically 3–7 years’ experience), ideal for someone ready to step up—broadening their technical exposure across multiple platforms and progressing toward a Senior Engineer position.

You’ll work across the full project lifecycle, from design through to commissioning, on complex, safety-critical systems.

Why This Role?

  • Work on complex, safety-critical systems—not repetitive maintenance work


  • Gain hands-on experience across multiple PLC platforms (not siloed into one vendor)


  • Be involved end-to-end—from initial design through to live commission...
