Electrical Controls Engineer
£50,000 to £60,000 per annum + OT
South East, UK
Industrial Projects | Automation | Control Systems
If you’re an Electrical Controls Engineer who enjoys solving real engineering problems, working on varied industrial projects and getting involved from design through to commissioning, this role will be right up your street.
A well-established engineering company in the South East is expanding its project team and is looking for an Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineer to support a growing pipeline of industrial and process engineering work.
This is not a “sit behind a desk all day” engineering role. You’ll be involved in design, system integration, installation and commissioning, working closely with clients to deliver reliable automation and control solutions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Be Doing
- Attending client sites for commissioning and troubleshooting
- Reading electrical schematics and engineering documentation
- Supporting panel builds, installations and system integration
- Working on projects that improve automation, efficiency and plant performance
You’ll see projects through from concept to completion, giving you genuine ownership of the engineering work.
The Kind of Engineer We're Looking For
- Electrical / Control Systems engineering experience
- Background in industrial or process environments
- Knowledge of PLC systems and automation
- Ability to read and produce electrical drawings and schematics
- Comfortable working both in the office and on site
- Someone who enjoys practical engineering and problem solving

Experience That Would Be Useful
- HNC / HND / Degree in Electrical or Control Engineering
- Experience in sectors like manufacturing, utilities, infrastructure, aggregates, chemicals or heavy industry
- Exposure to SCADA systems or industrial automation platforms
- Commissioning experience
Why This Role Stands Out
- Work on real engineering projects, not repetitive maintenance
- Strong pipeline of industrial automation work
- Opportunity to be involved in design through to commissioning
- Join a growing engineering team with long-term projects
If you're an Electrical Controls Engineer looking for a role where you can get stuck into projects and see your work implemented on real sites, we’d like to hear from you.
