Job Description
Controls Engineer – Machinery / Automation / PLCs
Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire
Pay: £40,000 - £50,000 (DOE)
25 Days Holiday, plus Bank Holidays
1pm Finish on Fridays
Are you an experienced Controls Engineer who enjoys designing control systems, writing PLC/HMI code, and seeing your solutions power real machinery?
SimWest is working with a well-established British manufacturer of bespoke industrial equipment — a business with a strong engineering legacy and a track record for quality, innovation, and reliability. After a year of record-breaking sales, they're now expanding their control systems team to support continued growth.
What You'll Be Doing:
This is a varied, full-lifecycle role - ideal for a Controls Engineer who can take ownership of control systems projects from start to finish. You’ll be responsible for:
* Designing and specifying electrical control circuits for complex machinery
* Writing and developing control software for PLC and HMI systems
* Providing commissioning support both remotely and on customer sites — approx. 4–5 weeks of travel per year, typically in short trips.
* Ensuring all systems meet safety, compliance, and performance standards
What We're Looking For:
* Proven experience with machinery control systems
* Strong PLC/HMI programming skills (Omron, Siemens, Rockwell/Allen Bradley)
* Ability to manage projects independently and collaborate within a team
* Willingness to travel occasionally for commissioning support
Why Join?
* Be part of a growing team in a business hitting record sales
* Take full ownership of control systems — from design to development to deployment
* See your work in action — real machines, real performance, real impact
* Flexible mix of design, development, and occasional site support
* 1pm finish every Friday — because even Controls Engineers need a decent weekend!
