A dynamic leader in the chemicals industry is seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated

Process Controls Engineer

to join their growing manufacturing organisation.

This position is a key hire as the company strives for continuous improvement to their production function, and will have a huge impact on short- and long-term outcomes for a key manufacturing facility. In this role you will provide daily support to plant control challenges, drive continuous improvement initiatives and lead a team of 5-6 Instrumentation Technicians.

If you are interested, have the relevant qualifications and a controls/ instrumentation background in a process manufacturing sector, and wish to join a growing business where you can have a real impact, then this could be a great opportunity for you.

For this position, it is essential you have:

BS degree in Electrical Engineering or related subject OR 8+ years’ industrial experience in a process controls environment. PLC programming skills – Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, SLC and PLC5. Experience troubleshooting networks spanning multiple VLAN subsets. HMI development skills – Rockwell, Factory Talk and RS View experience would be advantageous. The ability and desire to lead and direct a small team of Technicians.
