About the role
Are you a Controls & Design Engineer looking for a role where you can work across design, control systems, product development and continuous improvement?
This could be an excellent opportunity to join an established engineering team in Suffolk, working on a varied range of projects where your ideas and technical input can make a real difference.
You'll be involved in a broad range of engineering activities, including:
- Producing CAD drawings, schematics and Bills of Materials
- New product development, testing and validation
- Developing and testing control systems
- Continuous improvement of existing products
- Producing technical documentation, manuals and work instructions
- Engineering administration, including BOMs and part number creation
- Providing application support to customers and colleagues
- Researching new technologies and engineering solutions
There will also be opportunities for UK and international travel to visit customers and attend exhibitions.
We're interested in engineers with a strong technical mindset and a genuine desire to learn and develop. Ideally, you'll have:
- A degree/HND/HNC-level background in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Product Design - desirable rather than essential
- CAD experience, preferably SolidWorks
- Experience with electrical and diesel control systems
- Knowledge of PLCs, Codesys and scripting would be highly advantageous
- Experience with rotating machinery, steel fabrication and/or control systems
Most importantly, you'll be self-motivated, inquisitive and practical, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
This is a varied engineering role offering exposure to design, controls, product development and continuous improvement, within a UK engineering team that forms part of a wider global organisation.
If you're an engineer who enjoys solving problems, developing products and turning ideas into practical engineering solutions, we'd like to hear from you.
