Samuel Frank is recruiting for a Junior PLC Software Engineer to join an established engineering business in West Yorkshire.

This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career Controls Engineer, PLC Engineer or Commissioning Engineer who wants to strengthen their PLC software skills and develop into a more programming-led position.

You will initially gain hands-on experience working with live machinery and existing control systems, supported by an experienced engineering team. As your knowledge develops, you will progress into more advanced PLC programming, software design and project responsibility.

There's a wide salary range on offer – for higher end/top of the range, the expectation level on what skills the successful candidate has will be higher – obviously!

Key aspects of the Junior PLC Software Engineer role include:

Supporting the commissioning and development of automated machinery

Understanding, modifying and improving existing PLC software

Fault-finding across PLC-controlled machinery and electrical control systems

Working between the engineering office, shop floor and customer sites

Supporting installation and commissioning projects in the UK and overseas

Working directly with customers during commissioning and handover

Progressing into more advanced PLC programming and software development

During the first six months, the role will have a strong commissioning focus. This will provide practical knowledge of the machinery, control systems and PLC software before the position develops into a more programming-led role.
