Are you a skilled Controls Engineer looking for a high-impact contract where you can truly own the lifecycle of major capital projects? We are partnering with a large global manufacturer at their Plymouth site to find a dynamic Controls Engineer. This isn't a role where you'll just be maintaining the status quo. Instead, you will be driving massive site upgrades, including a major overhaul replacing machines, integrating cutting-edge technology into existing systems, and upgrading legacy assets to modern standards. If you are looking for a highly visible contract within a fast-paced, world-class manufacturing environment, your next challenge starts here.
As a ControlsEngineer, you will manage a mix of project stages, focusing predominantly on Low Voltage (LV) controls systems. While hands-on programming isn't a deal-breaker, you must possess the technical expertise to hold vendors accountable, lead commissioning, and fault-find effectively.
Your daily responsibilities will include:
Managing the end-to-end execution of engineering projects, from initial site surveying and concept design to scoping, alignment, and tendering.
Issuing work permits for contractors and managing implementation safety, including electrical isolations on circuits.
Working closely with contract partners, suppliers, and internal associates to ensure projects hit strict timelines and compliance goals.
Actively participating in project design reviews, Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT).
Overseeing the removal of old equipment and integrating new assets like switchboards and updated control systems across varying generations of machinery.
A qualification in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related discipline.
Proven track record of delivering Controls, Automation, and Electrical projects
Strong understanding of LV controls, electrical circuits, and industrial safety regulations.
Experience with PLC systems, SCADA, HMI, and industrial networks is highly desirable.
If you are an adaptable, safety-conscious engineer ready to make your mark on a massive site reinvestment project, apply today for immediate consideration!
