Graduate Electrical / Controls Engineer - Colchester, Essex £25,000-£30,000 + Profit Share Bonus + Paid Overtime + Full Training Programme

Are you an Electrical Engineering graduate looking to build a career in controls, automation and power systems? We're working with a highly specialised engineering company that designs and commissions advanced control systems for some of the UK's most critical infrastructure. Working across sectors including data centres, banking, commercial developments, government facilities and transport networks, the business delivers complex power management solutions where reliability is absolutely essential. This is an opportunity to join a close-knit engineering team and gain hands-on exposure to PLC programming, SCADA systems, industrial networking, power management systems and electrical control technologies from day one.

The Opportunity

You’ll work alongside experienced engineers supporting projects from initial design through to testing, commissioning and client handover.

Typical responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with electrical schematic and layout drawings
• PLC programming and configuration
• HMI and SCADA development
• Working with generator control systems and power management solutions
• Factory testing and site commissioning activities
• Fault finding and technical troubleshooting
• Supporting projects from concept design through to implementation and final commissioning

You’ll split your time between the office and project sites, gaining practical experience on live electrical infrastructure projects throughout the UK.

What Makes This Different?

Rather than joining a large graduate scheme where you become one of many trainees, you'll work directly alongside specialist engineers in a small technical team where learning and development is a genuine priority.

You’ll gain exposure to:

• PLCs and industrial automation
• SCADA and HMI systems
• Generator control systems
• Power management and load-shedding systems
• Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
• High and low voltage electrical networks
• Industrial communications and fibre-optic networking
• Electrical protection and control systems

Projecta include critical infrastructure across banking, data centres, government facilities, healthcare, transport and commercial developments. Recent work has involved major financial institutions, data centres, transport infrastructure and large-scale commercial buildings.

Training & Development

Comprehensive training is provided, including:

• PLC and SCADA training
• HMI development
• Generator controller training
• CSCS and ECS accreditation
• SSSTS and IPAF training where required
• Ongoing mentoring from experienced controls and power systems engineers

About You

The ideal applicant would have an educational background in any of the following:

• Electrical Engineering
• Electrical & Electronic Engineering
• Power Engineering
• Control Systems Engineering
• Automation Engineering
• Mechatronics Engineering

You’ll also have:

• Strong electrical engineering fundamentals
• An interest in controls, automation and power systems
• Good problem-solving ability and logical thinking
• Strong communication skills
• A willingness to travel to project sites as required
• A full UK driving licence

Candidates must have the right to work in the UK and have no criminal history.

Salary & Benefits

• £25,000-£30,000 basic salary
• Annual profit-share bonus
• Paid overtime with strong additional earning potential - opportunity to work weekends and nights (from time to time) to increase your earning potential
• Expenses paid when working away (90% of work is in London though)
• Access to company vehicles for site travel
• 30 days annual leave including bank holidays
• Pension
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Exposure to major infrastructure and mission-critical projects

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious graduate to build a career in a niche and highly sought-after area of engineering, combining electrical power systems, controls engineering, automation and commissioning.
