Supporting continuous improvement and automation projects
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally have:
A strong electrical engineering / electrician background
Proven experience working with industrial PLC-controlled machinery
Strong Mitsubishi PLC experience
The ability to write PLC programmes from scratch, not just modify existing code
Excellent electrical and PLC fault-finding skills
Experience reading electrical schematics and control drawings
A practical, hands-on approach to engineering and problem solving
Siemens PLC experience would also be advantageous, although Mitsubishi is the primary PLC platform.
Experience with HMIs, drives, servo systems, machine safety and commissioning would also be beneficial.
