Control & Systems Engineer

Control & Systems Engineer

Pirelli UK Tyres Ltd - Burton on Trent

We're looking for an enthusiastic Control & Systems Engineer to join our Engineering team in Burton.

The successful applicant will work 40 hours per week, from 08:00 - 16:00 Monday to Friday.

Salary for this role will be £48,000 - 58,000 per annum, depending upon qualification, skills, background and experience.

Reporting to the Maintenance and Engineering Manager, the successful candidate will be responsible for delivering a range of highly technologically focussed projects and improvement programs consistent with a complex, global, technical leader in the Prestige and Ultra High Performance Tyre industry.

This role requires a high degree of technical know-how and a capability to work on a broad range of software and control systems. The Control & Systems Engineer will become the technical specialist on many of these systems so a high degree of autonomy and flexibility is required in terms of problem solving and continual search for improvements to technical efficiency and effectiveness.

Candidates will be required to lead projects, taking them from concept to specification to detail design and full realisation within agreed timings and budgets. They will be a member of the broader engineering team and be required to collaborate in projects led by other colleagues or even other functions in both a practical 'hands-on' role or as a consultant. An important element of the role is the transfer of know-how to others by means of coaching, formal training packages or shadowing. Good interpersonal skills will therefore be required.

The ideal candidate will be equally comfortable in the factory environment or the office, working directly on machines to develop new investments and upgrades, creating designs, writing software or even updating documents etc. at a desk. The Control & Systems Engineer will deal confidently and professionally with external suppliers who will provide the goods or services specified or designed by them or their colleagues. The successful applicant is required to work closely with both Burton and Carlisle factories, collaboratively supporting PED/Engineering teams.

Main duties include (but are not limited to):

Providing a first class, professional, safe, engineering service

Being acutely aware of the need for accuracy and resilience ...
