We are partnering with a large global manufacturer at their Slough site to find a dynamic Controls Project Engineer. This isn't a role where you'll just be maintaining the status quo.

  • Issuing work permits for contractors and managing implementation safety, including electrical isolations on circuits
  • Working closely with contract partners, suppliers, and internal associates to ensure projects hit strict timelines and compliance goals
  • Actively participating in project design reviews, Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT)
  • Overseeing the removal of old equipment and integrating new assets like switchboards and updated control systems across varying generations of machinery

Requirements

  • Degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related discipline
  • Proven track record of delivering Controls, Automation, and Electrical projects within FMCG or manufacturing/logistics environments
  • Strong understanding of LV controls, electrical circuits, and industrial safety regulations
  • Experience with PLC systems (Mitsubishi and/or Allen Bradley preferred), SCADA, HMI, and industrial networks is highly desirable
  • Project management, safety, or automation certifications (e.g., PMP, NEBOSH) are a strong advantage
  • Dual Bias: An ideal blend of both electrical and controls engineering experience
  • Vendor Management: The ability to challenge, troubleshoot, and hold external vendors to account during commissioning and fault-finding
  • Communication: Exceptional verbal and written English skills to communicate complex technical concepts to cross-functional teams
