Controls Engineer

Reference: ele12_1790324963

If you've spent the last few years on the floor programming and troubleshooting PLCs, reading drawings, and keeping conveyors and packaging lines running, and you're ready to move from keeping systems alive to building them, this is the programme.

We are recruiting hands-on Controls Technicians and PLC Programmers into a Controls Academy: an intensive onsite bootcamp that teaches a modern controls platform and software-driven engineering workflow (including Git and code reviews. We'll teach it, you don't need it yet), followed by deployment into engineering teams configuring, testing, and commissioning control systems in live industrial facilities. Monthly training continues throughout the programme, you'll earn a professional accreditation, and high-performing engineers may gain access to exciting long-term career opportunities.

We're Looking For

  • 1-4 years of hands-on PLC experience on any platform (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff, B&R, Schneider, CODESYS), including programming or modifying logic
  • Confidence reading schematics, wiring diagrams, and I/O lists
  • Experience working with sensors, drives, motors, and safety circuits
  • A natural problem-solver who wants to understand why something failed, not just that it failed
  • Ability to be onsite for training and travel or relocate for project deployments as required
  • Conveyor or material-handling experience is a strong advantage

GCS is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
