Principal Process Automation Software Engineer

Peterborough | Full time | (£58,500 per annum) plus overtime

Ten years of Rockwell experience. One role where it really counts.

Control systems keep factories running, water flowing and processes safe. When they're designed well, nobody notices. When they aren't, everybody does. We're looking for a Principal Process Automation Software Engineer to make sure our customers never have to think about it.

We deliver everything from minor upgrades to full turnkey solutions, covering assessment, engineering, design, manufacture, installation, commissioning, training and ongoing support. You'll be the technical authority across that journey: the engineer customers trust, and the one colleagues come to when a problem needs solving.

Why this role

• Real ownership: You'll work from the quotation stage right through to commissioning on site, as a key representative of the business.
• Variety: Different industries, different challenges, and projects that range from quick wins to complete turnkey systems.
• Technical leadership: Set the standard for how we design and build, and mentor engineers as they develop.
• See it run: You won't hand your work over and never see it again. You'll test it, commission it and watch it perform for the customer.

What you'll do

• Develop PLC and SCADA applications, from control logic through to full systems
• Work from customer URS documents to produce clear functional design specifications and technical documentation
• Test and commission your deliverables at customer sites
• Troubleshoot, optimise and improve process performance
• Work with project engineers, designers and clients to define requirements
• Make sure every design is compliant, reliable and safe, and meets customer specifications
• Support colleagues and the needs of the business

What you'll bring

• An electrical engineering degree or apprenticeship
• 10+ years of Rockwell Allen-Bradley ControlLogix experience
• 10+ years of FactoryTalk View SE experience
• Experience working to ISO 9001, 14001, 27001 and 45001
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
