Job Description

Control Systems Engineer | West Thurrock (Onsite)

I’m currently partnering with a large, established and market-leading organisation with a strong UK footprint, as they look to appoint a Control Systems Engineer into their growing C&I function.

This is a business with real heritage and a workforce full of long-serving experts, but equally a company that’s evolving, bringing in a new generation of high-calibre talent and investing heavily in modern engineering standards and ways of working. The environment is fast-paced, innovative, and forward-thinking.

The Opportunity

This is a genuinely exciting, long-term opportunity for a Control Systems Engineer who wants to make a lasting impact.

The role has been created with a clear goal: to help elevate and professionalise controls and engineering standards across the business. You’ll play a key part in shaping how systems, processes and documentation are structured moving forward.

Alongside this, you’ll be involved in a broad mix of activities - from design and development through to commissioning, maintenance and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  * 

    Designing and programming PLC/SCADA systems from first principles

  * 

    Producing high-quality engineering documentation (URS, FDS, control philosophies, cause & effect, etc.)

  * 

    Supporting plant operations with fault finding, maintenance and system improvements

  * 

    Working closely with wider engineering and project teams on instrumentation and control strategy

  * 

    Contributing to safety studies (HAZOPs, MOCs) as the C&I specialist

  * 

    Driving improvements in engineering standards, processes and documentation across the business

  * 

    Coaching and supporting maintenance teams to improve fault-finding capability

What We’re Looking For:

  * 

    Strong technical capability across PLC/SCADA systems (Allen Bradley, Siemens, etc.)

  * 

    Experience designing control systems and working with instrumentation (flow, level, pressure, etc.)

  * 

    A methodical engineer with a real focus on documentation, standards and process

  * 

    Someone who can operate effectively in a fast-paced, multi-site environment

  * 

    A collaborative mindset with the confidence to influence and improve existing ways of working

Why Apply?

  * 

    A long-term career opportunity with real progression potential

  * 

    The chance to shape and improve engineering standards across a major UK business

  * 

    Exposure to a wide range of projects, technologies and sites

  * 

    A business that blends experience, stability and innovation
