Job description

Paradigm Engineers is a Perth-based engineering consultancy delivering electrical, instrumentation, and control systems projects across mining, mineral processing, and infrastructure. We are part of the largest mining-focused systems integrator in Australia, and we are growing our Perth team to meet a strong and expanding project pipeline.

Our current work spans greenfield and brownfield mining, materials handling, mineral processing, and port facilities, covering design, construction, commissioning, and optimisation.

The Role

• As a Senior Control Systems Engineer, you will take technical ownership of control system scope across varied and challenging projects.
• Designing and implementing control systems solutions that meet both client requirements and industry standards.
• PLC and SCADA programming across platforms including Rockwell, Schneider, Siemens, Citect, FactoryTalk View, and Wonderware.
• Producing high-quality technical documentation including specifications, reports, procedures, and manuals.
• Supporting site visits and commissioning activities.
• Mentoring and providing technical guidance to less experienced engineers.
• Collaborating with clients and project teams to keep work aligned and on track.

What We Are Looking For

• Engineering degree or equivalent tertiary qualification.
• Demonstrated PLC and/or SCADA programming experience.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics and develop control system designs from varied inputs.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving capability.
• Clear and effective communication, both written and in person.
• Experience in mineral processing, bulk materials handling, or stockyard systems is advantageous, as is familiarity with functional safety, IT/OT networks, virtualised environments, or additional complementary skills such as Python, PowerShell, or Linux.

What We Offer

• Market-competitive remuneration with paid overtime and site uplifts.
• Reward and recognition aligned to performance and contribution.
• Respectful and supportive management culture.
• Exposure to major projects for Tier 1 clients.
• A modern Belmont office with premium workstations, a dedicated test lab, and free on-site parking.
• A genuine commitment to professional development and career progression.
• We welcome applications from candidates who may not meet every requirement. Technical aptitude and a strong work ethic matter as much to us as ticking every box.

We're open to permanent, contract, and casual engagements. Relocation assistance will be considered for the right candidate.
