Control Systems engineer

The Role
We are looking for a Control Systems Engineer to join our growing team.
This is a hands-on, site-based role — not just sat behind a screen. You’ll be involved across the full
lifecycle of our machines:
• Software design and programming
• Electrical build and panel assembly
• R&D and development work
• On-site installation and commissioning (UK & worldwide)
No two days are the same. You’ll be working on bespoke machinery, solving real-world problems, and
seeing your work come to life on customer sites.
For someone who enjoys variety, ownership, and practical engineering, this is a genuinely interesting
and rewarding role.
This role offers genuine progression as our systems and product range continue to develop — with
increasing involvement in design, innovation, and customer-facing engineering.

Role & Responsibilities
• The Controls engineering team are responsible for all existing machine designs & changes and are
looking for another control system engineer to strengthen the team.
• Proficient in Rockwell RSLogix5000 (or similar software), PLC, HMI and Motion control.
• The ideal candidate will also be capable of Electrical Design with EPlan and AutoCAD.
• Full Electrical Control Panel Assembly including, backplate layout and drilling, cutting trunking,
cable labelling and wiring / testing.
• The position will involve worldwide travel of up to 2 weeks at a time to support the installation of
new machine designs on site.
• This position will suit somebody making the next move on their career ladder and further career
progression.
• Graduates would be considered.
• Good understanding of Machine Safety and working to a range of Standards.

Skills & Experience
• PLC Programming – Rockwell preferred
• Motion Control
• HMI Design
• Software Design
• Panel Building
• Machine Wiring
• Electrical Design
• HND / Experience – Beneficial
• Food Industry Experience – Beneficial

Note: Controls and panel building/machine wiring will be approximately a 50/50 split.

What It’s Like to Work Here
We’re not a corporate environment — and we don’t pretend to be.
• Small, experienced team where your work actually matters
• Direct involvement in machine design, not just small pieces of it
• Strong focus on R&D and continuous improvement
• Real engineering challenges — not repetitive production work
• Opportunity to travel and see your machines running in the real world
• A business that values practical thinking and problem solving over theory

If you enjoy:
• Getting stuck in
• Seeing things through from concept to commissioning
• Working on genuinely bespoke equipment
...you’ll fit in here.

This role is NOT for you if:
• You only want a desk-based programming role
• You don’t enjoy hands-on electrical work
• You’re not open to occasional worldwide travel
• You prefer repetitive production work over problem solving
