About On-Site Energy

At On-Site Energy, we work with energy-intensive manufacturers to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions through on-site generation, energy efficiency and infrastructure upgrades. We design, build, own and operate energy assets within live industrial environments, partnering closely with our clients to deliver commercially viable, long-term solutions.

We are technology agnostic and data-led - assessing each site individually and integrating technologies such as CHP, solar PV, heat pumps and wider efficiency upgrades to deliver the strongest commercial outcome.

Our clients operate in high-demand, complex environments, where energy cost and resilience are critical. OSE’s internally developed asset management platform plays a key role - providing real-time visibility of asset performance, enabling remote diagnostics and control, and supporting site-wide energy optimisation.

The Role

We’re strengthening delivery at the intersection of controls, automation, and digital integration – working as part of a collaborative technical team, these roles bridge site-level automation and cloud-based platform integration; these roles sit across software, controls, and engineering, collaborating to connect, control, and optimise the performance of our on-site energy assets.

This roles sit across site-level automation and cloud-based platform integration, combining HMI design, PLC programming, and interfacing to Edge Compute, helping to strengthen the systems that connect our sites to the wider platform. You’ll be working to agreed priorities in an Agile/Scrum environment, providing clear progress updates via Azure DevOps and Teams.

Contribute to knowledge transfer, ensuring permanent team members are equipped to maintain and evolve solutions post-handover
Support commissioning activities for new sites, collaborating closely with software developers, EC&I engineers, and project teams
Integrate control systems with OSE’s asset management platform to enable advanced diagnostics, optimisation, and remote operation
Identify and deliver improvements in automation, connectivity, and system performance, drawing on industry best practice
This role will require some on-site work at client sites, particularly for commissioning activities

Skills & Experience

Essential

Strong background in industrial control and automation systems, including HMI design and Siemens S7 PLC programming (RIA Step 7 SCL Structured Control Language)

Comfortable using Microsoft Teams and working collaboratively in a remote/hybrid setup
Experience with Azure DevOps and working within an Agile/Scrum framework
Able to work in a dynamic environment, responding quickly to delivery priorities
