• Developing solutions involving instrumentation, industrial control systems, MCCs and PLC hardware.
• Supporting ATEX and machinery safety compliance activities.
• Travelling internationally to support customer projects, installations, commissioning and technical troubleshooting.

About You

To be successful, you will have:

• Strong industrial electrical engineering design experience
• Experience producing electrical schematics and technical drawings
• Understanding of machinery safety, including Performance Level (PL) calculations and validation
• Experience with industrial controls, instrumentation and communication protocols such as Profibus and AS-i
• Practical installation, inspection, testing and commissioning experience
• The ability to provide technical leadership and make sound engineering decisions
• Willingness to travel internationally as required

Desirable Experience

• Food, beverage, brewing, distilling or pharmaceutical manufacturing environments
• EPLAN and AutoCAD experience
• Degree, HND or HNC in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• Working towards or holding IEng or CEng status

Salary & Benefits

• £50,000 - £55,000 salary
• £455 per month car allowance
• Hybrid working after successful completion of probation
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Flexible holiday scheme
• Pension scheme
• International travel opportunities
• Long-term career development and progression

This role would suit a Senior Electrical Engineer, Electrical Design Engineer, Controls Engineer or Lead Engineer looking to take ownership of technically challenging projects within a growing and highly respected engineering environment.
