AWE's Facility Engineering Team is looking to appoint an experienced Control and Instrumentation (C&I) Engineer (Plant & Building Services) to deliver professional engineering services across our plant and equipment.

Title: Control and Instrumentation / (C&I) Engineer (Plant & Building Services)

This role will give you the opportunity to work for one of the area's largest employers where you will have the opportunity to develop your expertise whilst making a direct and visible contribution to the successful running of our business.

As a C&I Engineer you'll be responsible for:

1. Applying expertise in C&I building services and associated plant to deliver engineered solutions within the operational lifecycle phase. Produce modification packages, manage configured plant changes, and act as intelligent client in acquiring or specifying engineering services or products.
2. Identifying and escalating business risk or opportunities arising from the condition of engineered systems and structures in the interests of safety, regulatory compliance, quality, and reliability.
3. Taking ownership of engineering issues or opportunities. Plan, manage, and collaborate to deliver sound, safe solutions to enable delivery of the programme and our obligations to society.
4. Providing advice, guidance, progress reports, and supporting documentation (or review) to stakeholders including Senior Leadership, Operations Management, Process Owners, Operators, Maintainers, and Occupants.
5. Applying Maintenance & Reliability Principles; enact as directed by planning, output from Failure Modes & Effects Analysis. Analyse relevant metrics and contribute to Key Performance Indicators and other reporting as required. Assist in Reliability Centred Maintenance planning and perform Root Cause Analysis.

For C&I Engineer roles we are particularly interested to hear from candidates with experience in some, or all the following:

1. C&I building services (PLCs, BMS, HVAC, SCADA, HMIs, analogue etc.) and industrial processes, with good awareness of electrical building service and mechanical systems.
2. A good awareness of relevant legislation, supporting ACOP, best practice, and common industry standards.
3. Experience within the higher hazard / regulated industries (e.g. nuclear, petro-chem, pharma etc.).
4. Membership of an engineering institution and/or Incorporated Engineer or equivalent.
5. Previous experience as an installer or maintainer likely beneficial, although this role is more akin to consultancy services in lieu of hands on technical tasks.

We would love to hear from individuals with a minimum qualification L4 NQF (HNC) with suitable additional experience (a degree in an engineering discipline desirable), who are looking to further their career in a company that can offer superb training and development opportunities.

Some reasons we think C&I Engineers love it here:
