This role would suit a junior-to-intermediate Controls/Automation Engineer with Siemens TIA Portal PLC experience, looking for structured development, increasing technical scope, and varied project work.

The Role:

• Designing electrical and control systems for composite moulding processes
• PLC programming (Siemens TIA Portal) and producing drawings/specifications
• Supporting projects end-to-end: feasibility/BOMs through to commissioning and handover

The Person:

• Controls/Automation Engineer experience with PLC programming (Siemens TIA Portal essential)
• A couple of years' experience in a controls / control systems role (open to more junior profiles)
• Full UK driving licence and passport for travel
