We’re recruiting for a growing renewable-energy business developing and operating biogas plants across the UK, with an expanding portfolio of plant upgrades, new projects and carbon-capture technology.
This is a specialist controls role—not a general maintenance position with occasional PLC exposure. You’ll combine practical instrumentation expertise with control systems engineering, supporting operational plants, commissioning projects and automation improvements.
Key responsibilities will include:
- ✅ Diagnosing complex instrumentation, PLC, SCADA and control-system faults
- ✅ Calibrating pressure, temperature, flow, level and gas-analysis instrumentation
- ✅ Completing instrument loop checks, loop tuning and process-control optimisation
- ✅ Modifying and maintaining Siemens Step7 Classic and TIA Portal PLC systems
- ✅ Supporting and developing Siemens WinCC SCADA systems
- ✅ Working with virtualised control environments, including VMware or Hyper-V
- ✅ Supporting DCS and Safety Instrumented Systems, including testing and proof testing
- ✅ Commissioning instrumentation and automation systems for new plants and upgrades
- ✅ Troubleshooting industrial networks, including Profibus, Profinet, Modbus, Ethernet and OPC
- ✅ Supporting functional safety, HAZOP, LOPA, DSEAR and engineering change processes
- ✅ Improving plant reliability, performance and operational visibility
