Westlakes Recruit are currently recruiting for a Lead Controls SI Engineer to be engaged on a permanent basis. The role will be located in Grangemouth, Derby, Warrington and Stafford.

What will you be doing? You'll be working on complex control system projects. Acting as Lead Engineer, you'll be managing the workload and progress of your team, working closely with the Project Manager to meet project milestones.
You'll turn user requirements and existing software into powerful, streamlined control systems - giving old tech new life.
From PLC and SCADA configuration to writing HMI logic, you'll create the systems that make everything work smoothly and safely.
Spending your time between the office and home, bench testing your software. When it's time to go live, you'll be there - working side by side with clients to fine-tune systems during on-site commissioning and ensure everything's running smoothly during SAT.
