Strong understanding of industrial networking, fieldbus protocols (Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus) and PLC‑to‑SCADA integration.
Competent with testing methodologies, FAT/SAT procedures and commissioning activities.
Good written and verbal communication skills and experience producing technical documentation.
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to client sites.

Desirable

Experience with MES integration, recipe management and batch control systems.
Knowledge of industrial cyber security standards and secure architecture for control systems.
Familiarity with safety PLCs and functional safety standards (e.g. IEC 61508 / 61511) and experience implementing safety logic.
