Control Systems Engineer – Future Team Lead!
Location: High Wycombe On-site £45–52K long-term growth opportunity
A rare opportunity to take ownership, shape systems from scratch, and grow with a scaling engineering business.
A well-established but fast-growing technology company is looking for a talented Control Systems Engineer to take the lead on their automation systems. This is a chance to step into a role with real technical ownership – designing, maintaining, and evolving the control architecture for advanced, high-precision machinery.
The business is entering a rapid growth phase, with turnover increasing year-on-year and a clear roadmap for team expansion. You’ll be the first dedicated Controls Engineer, laying the foundations for future hires and, if desired, stepping into a leadership role as the controls function grows.
Why this role stands out:
Autonomy and ownership: Take control of the entire automation layer – no red tape or legacy teams in your way.
Progression: As the business scales, so does your opportunity – from engineering lead to potential team leadership.
Hands-on impact: Work closely with the design, production, and R&D teams to bring products from concept to delivery.
Collaborative team: Join a multi-skilled engineering group that’s passionate about innovation.
You’ll be responsible for:
Developing, customising, and maintaining PLC software
Updating and evolving PC-based software
Designing schematics and interlock systems to ensure safety and compliance
Supporting production, testing (FATs), and installation teams
Working alongside R&D to support the development of new features and systems
Creating and maintaining clear technical documentation
We’re looking for:
A degree in Engineering or Science – or equivalent hands-on experience
Strong experience with industrial control systems and PLC programming
Some experience with PC-based software development
A proactive, problem-solving mindset and interest in long-term development
The opportunity:
This is a genuine opportunity to make your mark in a growing business. With a proven track record of year-on-year growth, they’re investing heavily in engineering capability and infrastructure – and you’ll be central to that journey.
