Are you sick to death of staying in your lane & being tied to your desk?  Especially after a year of not being able to go anywhere or do anything?

How about a chance to get out of your comfort zone?

Technically, this role is pretty much as varied as it can be and it’s probably gonna test you in a few areas.  You’ll pick things up in the design phase, working on part lists and using AutoCAD to produce electrical schematics and work on the layouts.  You’ll move on to programming PLC and HMI using Studio 5000 & Siemens TIA portal afterwards, but that doesn’t mean you definitely won’t need to pick up a screwdriver from time to time.

See, if being pigeon holed and staying in your lane is your idea of bliss this really isn’t the role for you.  Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with at and every business needs people who are hyper focussed on one area of the industry.  That just isn’t how this one’s gonna work.

Salary wise; you’ll earn something in the region of £50k in your first year with overtime usually being on the cards if you either want it or you can’t avoid it at any point.  You’ll get a van as well for what it’s worth, but that’s a given rather than a “perk” – don’t let anyone tell you any different 😊

If working in the office 60% of the time (Burnley) & on site (mainly UK) for the rest is the kind of balance you need in your life, give me a shout and let’s dig into some of the finer details together.

Do you want to work on challenging projects, forcing you to work from scratch every time?

Well, this role could be right up your street. You would be a controls engineer working full cradle to grave programming bespoke automated machines and robots, eliminating any need for human interface with the machines. 

As well as the programming side of things you would also be expected to carry the project right through to the commissioning stage, which will all be UK-based. The majority of the programming would be done using Siemens and/or Rockwell, but there’s the odd curveball thrown in so there’s a chance to learn new programmes whilst you’re at it. Also, each project will be in different industries and working with different products from gaskets for hydrogen to aerospace to pottery, so if you like a challenge then this role could be your next one. 

They embrace hybrid working, so when you’re doing documentation and software work that can be done at home, feel free, but obviously for the development and testing phases you’d be required on-site in Stockport.

As most of you will know in some companies the managers/directors are hard to catch.. not in this company, they are always in office to face the problems you may encounter and to help learn from mistakes so it definitely wouldn’t be a one man show. 

I hate this phrase, and cringe whenever I see it on a job advert, but the salary really does depend on experience with this one with the range being between £40k to £65k. For the upper end of that, you’d need to be bang on of course, but they’re fair with pay and hold pretty frequent salary and performance reviews.
