Position Overview
Controls Engineer – Automation / Systems Integration
Cheshire / Daresbury Area (Hybrid with Site Travel)
£55,000–£65,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus + Call-Out Payment
I’m working with an engineering-led automation business delivering bespoke material handling and automation systems across the UK.
One thing that stood out to me about this role is that they seem to have a fairly realistic approach to controls engineering. The travel is planned upfront, mostly UK based and typically involves 2–3 planned site phases a year rather than endless last-minute trips and permanently living away from home.
The role covers the full controls lifecycle, including:
*
PLC and HMI development (Siemens and/or Rockwell)
*
Commissioning, testing and fault finding
*
FAT, SAT and customer handover
*
Ongoing support and system improvement work
*
