• Develop and configure HMI and SCADA systems
• Carry out software testing and simulation activities
• Support FAT activities and provide technical expertise to project teams
• Work closely with electrical design, commissioning and project engineering teams
• Ensure projects are delivered to specification, budget and programme

Requirements

• Previous experience as a PLC Software Engineer, Automation Engineer or Controls Software Engineer
• Strong Siemens TIA Portal programming experience
• Experience developing software for industrial automation systems
• Exposure to Allen Bradley PLCs would be advantageous
• HMI and SCADA development experience
• Strong problem-solving and fault-finding skills
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills

Desirable

• Experience within material handling, warehouse automation, manufacturing or special purpose machinery
• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols and network architecture
• Understanding of electrical control systems and automation architecture

What's on Offer?

• £50,000 - £60,000 basic salary
• Office-based role with minimal travel requirements
• Opportunity to work on industry-leading automation projects
• Modern engineering environment
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Long-term career progression opportunities
