Controls Engineer - Shropshire - Permanent - £50-65k + car allowance + hybrid working + bonus

Samuel Frank is recruiting for a Controls Engineer to join a rapidly growing Shropshire based systems integrator. As a Controls Engineer you'll be working on a wide range of projects, including but not limited to heavy industry, marine applications, manufacturing, energy storage and distribution or metal processing plants.

Key aspects of the Controls Engineer position include:

• Software design, including Software Design Specifications and production of software deliverables for PLC, HMI, SCADA, robots or variable speed drives
• Electrical / controls concept design including Functional Design Specification, Safety Requirements Specification, Single Line Diagrams, Network Topology, Device Layout, Cause & Effect Matrix, Safety Block Diagram etc.
• Conduct FATs and SATs
• Control Engineers who are Certified Machine Safety Engineers (CMSE) or TUV Functional Safety accredited will be considered favourably - not essential
• Role is hybrid, so when you're not working on customer sites the expectation is that you're in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays and another day of your choice and the remaining two days are home-based.
• When you're in the office you'll be working in a modern, high specification workspace - this is a cool place to work!
• Role won't involve extended periods on site. The company has a commissioning and installation team that picks up the heavy lifting in terms of site work. For example, the Controls Engineer might expect to be on site for 2-3 weeks at the end of a job where they've been home and office based for 6 months.
• Company promotes from within and has a clear career progression path for Controls Engineers joining the team.
• They're innovators, the company pushes the boundaries of what's possible with existing and new technologies.

The position is commutable from the following places - Market Drayton, Telford, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth and Newport and because you only need to be in the office 3 days a week, it's also commutable from Stafford, Stone, Stoke, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Kidderminster, Lichfield, Cannock, Rugeley or Tamworth.
