Plan and support HMI and PLC upgrades, ensuring all changes are properly documented and implemented.
Support training and mentoring of ICA Technicians, providing hands-on guidance and knowledge sharing.
Monitor planned and reactive maintenance (Mandat, PPMs, NEDMs), escalating risks of non-compliance where needed.
Produce site-specific troubleshooting guides and manuals to assist future fault resolution.
Supervise and audit contractors and team members to ensure compliance with health and safety and company procedures.

Working Pattern: 38 Hours per week, Monday – Friday, 7:30am – 3:36pm

What should you bring to the role?

Proven experience working with PLCs (preferably Allen-Bradley), SCADA systems, communication networks, and instrumentation. (flow, level, pressure, etc.).
Knowledge of variable speed drives (VSDs) and motor control methods.
HNC or higher in a related engineering discipline.
18th Edition wiring regulations (BS7671) qualification and 3-phase electrical knowledge are advantageous.
A proactive, hands-on approach with strong problem-solving skills and a drive to resolve issues the first time.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and stakeholders.
Passion for continuous improvement, technical development, and delivering exceptional service.

What’s in it for you?

Offering a salary package up to £60,000 per annum with car allowance, depending on skills and experience.
Annual Leave: 26 days per year, increasing to 30 with length of service (plus bank holidays).
Contributory Pension: Defined Contribution scheme with up to 12% employer contribution (2x employee contribution).
Personal Medical Assessments: Available annually to all employees.
Benefits on Tap: Access to discounts, cashback, and instant vouchers.
Generous Paternity Leave: 4 weeks paid, plus an optional 2 weeks unpaid.
