Job description

EC&I Engineer

South East England
Industrial Projects | Automation | Control Systems

If you’re an EC&I Engineer who enjoys solving real engineering problems, working on varied industrial projects and getting involved from design through to commissioning, this role will be right up your street.

A well-established engineering company in the South East is expanding its project team and is looking for an Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineer to support a growing pipeline of industrial and process engineering work.

This is not a “sit behind a desk all day” engineering role. You’ll be involved in design, system integration, installation and commissioning, working closely with clients to deliver reliable automation and control solutions.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing electrical and control systems for industrial environments
• Developing PLC and automation solutions
• Producing electrical schematics and engineering documentation
• Supporting panel builds, installations and system integration
• Attending client sites for commissioning and troubleshooting
• Working on projects that improve automation, efficiency and plant performance

You’ll see projects through from concept to completion, giving you genuine ownership of the engineering work.

The Kind of Engineer We're Looking For

• EC&I / Electrical / Control Systems engineering experience
• Background in industrial or process environments
• Knowledge of PLC systems and automation
• Ability to read and produce electrical drawings and schematics
• Comfortable working both in the office and on site
• Someone who enjoys practical engineering and problem solving

Experience That Would Be Useful

• HNC / HND / Degree in Electrical or Control Engineering
• Experience in sectors like manufacturing, utilities, infrastructure, aggregates, chemicals or heavy industry
• Exposure to SCADA systems or industrial automation platforms
• Commissioning experience

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on real engineering projects, not repetitive maintenance
• Strong pipeline of industrial automation work
• Opportunity to be involved in design through to commissioning
• Join a growing engineering team with long-term projects

If you're an EC&I Engineer looking for a role where you can get stuck into projects and see your work implemented on real sites, we’d like to hear from you.
