Job description

Are you a controls / instrumentation / EC&I technician looking for your next challenge? Biffa have created this new career opportunity that will allow you to work in an exciting and challenging environment that will draw on your extensive technical knowledge and experience.

Help us make a difference as a Senior Controls Technician.

Based in the North of the UK, with nationwide travel required.

A quick look at the role.

As a Senior Controls Technician, you will independently install, repair, troubleshoot and optimise process control systems across multiple processing facilities. You’ll interrogate PLC, SCADA and distributed control platforms, lead complex fault‑finding, and ensure robust system backups and secure remote‑access arrangements. You’ll travel regularly, supporting sites across the country, and will participate in an out‑of‑hours rota.

This role sits at the highest technical tier in the business, equivalent in grade to our engineering managers, while keeping you fully on the tools.

Your core responsibilities.

  • Deliver advanced fault finding across PLC, SCADA and DCS systems
  • Take ownership of control systems, including backups, version control and remote access
  • Lead and support site engineers to improve reliability and maintenance standards
  • Carry out expert break-fix and preventative maintenance activities
  • Drive cost efficiency through smart parts sourcing and system optimisation
  • Maintain and update technical documentation, SOPs and change controls
  • Work to high safety standards while supporting a national on-call rota

Requirements

Our essential requirements.

  • Level 3 qualification in Electrical, Electronic, Controls or Instrumentation Engineering.
  • Strong experience within a 24/7 process or manufacturing environment.
  • Proficiency in PLC/SCADA interrogation for fault‑finding and optimisation.
  • Ability to travel nationwide, including regular nights away, and support an on‑call rota.
  • Similar roles and backgrounds we would consider (Control Systems Technician, Automation Technician, Electrical Maintenance Technician, Instrumentation Technician, EC&I Technician (Electrical, Control & Instrumentation), PLC Technician / PLC Engineer, Electrical & Controls Engineer, Process Control Technician, SCADA Technician / SCADA Engineer, Industrial Electrician (Controls Bias)).

Benefits

And here’s why you’ll love it at Biffa.

  • Competitive salary (management grade).
  • 4‑day working week.
  • Ongoing training, coaching and professional development.
  • Generous pension scheme.
  • Retail, leisure, travel and holiday discounts.
  • Bike to work scheme.

Changing the way people think about waste.

At Biffa, we love working with waste. Whether we’re turning it into sustainable power, finding new ways to recycle it or simply keeping it off the streets, we believe every day is an opportunity to improve the lives of millions. It’s a view that’s shared by our 11,000+ people around the country, who trust us to provide them with a career that’s always rewarding, often challenging, but never dull. And it’s why we’re the UK’s No. 1 choice for business waste management.

Dedicated to diversity.

Being inclusive is core to our culture at Biffa; we believe different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds are key to developing a creative and effective working environment that represents our communities and generates the best outcomes for colleagues, customers and stakeholders, which is why you’ll find us championing diversity, equity and inclusion at every turn.
