Job Description

Pension, Life insurance, Healthcare cashback scheme

Office-based, Cheshire, with occasional remote working once establishedReporting to the Engineering Manager, working alongside R&D, Electronics, and Production Test

Are you an experienced PLC engineer looking to broaden into microcontroller-based control systems? This is a chance to join a small, close-knit engineering team supporting and developing control systems for bespoke scientific/lab equipment, with real variety across production support, R&D, and new product development.

The Role

Every system is built to order, so no two control systems are quite the same. You'll split your time between supporting existing PLC-controlled production systems and helping shape the next generation, which combines an external software platform with in-house PLC and (eventually) microcontroller-based control. You'll:

Maintain and support existing PLC control systems (Omron CX-Programmer, ladder logic/structured text) and HMI interfaces

Work with an electronics engineer to integrate motor/pump control (signal-level, not circuit design)

Support Production/Test with fault diagnosis and acceptance testing

Read wiring schematics (produced by the electronics team)

Start building familiarity with microcontroller-based control for future product development

Use Git for version controlAbout You

Engineering background (degree, apprenticeship, HNC or HND)

At least 4 years in a similar role, ideally industrial/PLC background

Strong PLC programming experience (ladder logic/structured text); CX-Programmer experience a bonus

Comfortable reading electrical/wiring schematicsCurious and keen to learn: open to picking up microcontroller and embedded systems knowledge over time
