Job description

Senior Process Control Engineer – Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

• Initial 12-month contract
• Multi-year project potential

An opportunity to bring your process control expertise into a highly automated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment, joining a close-knit engineering team with a broad and varied technical remit.

While DeltaV experience is important, this role extends well beyond day-to-day control system engineering. You'll contribute across plant operations, troubleshooting, automation projects, commissioning, validation and wider engineering improvements. It's a dynamic position for someone who enjoys getting hands-on, adapting to different challenges and working closely with colleagues across the manufacturing operation.

Why You'll Want It

• Go beyond a traditional process control role, with involvement across multiple engineering and manufacturing initiatives.
• Join a tight-knit team where you'll have the autonomy and opportunity to contribute across the wider operation.
• Initial 12-month contract with the potential to become part of a longer-term, multi-year programme.

What You'll Do

• Support and optimise process control systems, including Emerson DeltaV, within a regulated manufacturing environment.
• Contribute to automation modifications, troubleshooting, system upgrades, commissioning and validation activities.
• Collaborate with engineering and operations teams on a variety of plant support and continuous improvement initiatives.

What You'll Bring

• Strong process control or automation experience within pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical or another regulated manufacturing environment.
• Hands‑on experience with DeltaV or comparable DCS platforms, alongside an understanding of GxP requirements.
• A versatile, solutions‑focused approach, with the ability to take on varied engineering responsibilities rather than working within a narrow specialism.
• Location: Dublin
• Duration: Initial 12-month contract
• Project: Multi-year automation programme with strong potential for extension
