Senior Control Systems Engineer (Industrial/Water)
We are seeking a Senior Control Systems Engineer to lead the design, development, implementation and support of automation and control solutions across industrial and water-sector projects. The role will involve working across the full project lifecycle, from concept and detailed design through to commissioning, handover and ongoing operational support. You will collaborate with project managers, electrical engineers, process specialists, site teams, suppliers and clients to deliver safe, reliable and maintainable systems.
Key responsibilities will include producing control system architectures, functional design specifications, control philosophies, I/O schedules, cause-and-effect matrices and associated technical documentation. You will develop and review PLC, SCADA, HMI and telemetry solutions, oversee software configuration and testing, and support factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing and commissioning activities. The role will also involve troubleshooting complex automation issues, managing technical interfaces, reviewing third-party designs, ensuring compliance with relevant standards, and contributing to project estimates, programmes and risk assessments. You may provide technical leadership to less experienced engineers and help establish consistent engineering and delivery practices.
Applicants should have substantial experience in control systems engineering within industrial, utilities, water or process environments, with strong knowledge of PLC and SCADA platforms, industrial communications and instrumentation interfaces. Experience with systems such as Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Wonderware, WinCC or similar technologies would be advantageous. You will need a sound understanding of electrical and process control principles, functional safety, cybersecurity and applicable engineering standards. A relevant degree, HNC, HND or equivalent professional experience is expected, together with the ability to interpret technical specifications, manage priorities and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A practical, collaborative approach and willingness to travel to project and client sites are also important.
