Our Telford based client has been established for almost 20 years and are recognised as leading providers of all aspects of hardware and software design through to robot systems integration and commission on a range of bespoke automation solutions for supply to a diverse range of clients throughout the UK, and as a result of continued success and an ongoing programme of strategic growth, they are now seeking to recruit two experienced Field based Controls Service Engineer professionals to support Siemens PLC controlled Automation solutions both remotely and at customer sites throughout the UK.
