Are you a genuine Control & Instrumentation specialist with hands‑on experience of Siemens Step7 Classic, TIA Portal and WinCC SCADA ?

The package

• Salary up to £60,000 , depending on experience
• Bonus of up to 15%
• Company car
• 7.5% company pension contribution
• Private healthcare
• Life assurance
• Training and professional development
• Exposure to operational plants, upgrades, commissioning, carbon capture and new renewable-energy projects

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

What we’re looking for

You’ll need strong EC&I experience gained within a highly automated process or heavy‑industrial environment such as power generation, Energy from Waste, chemical processing, petrochemical, oil and gas, renewable energy or utilities.

Essential experience includes:

• HNC, HND, advanced apprenticeship or equivalent in Electrical, Control, Instrumentation or Automation Engineering
• Strong hands‑on instrumentation, calibration, loop checking and fault‑finding capability
• Practical experience modifying and diagnosing PLC‑based control systems
• Siemens Step7 Classic and TIA Portal
• Siemens WinCC SCADA
• DCS and/or Safety Instrumented Systems
• Instrumentation and control‑system commissioning
• Industrial communications and OT environments
• Virtual machines within industrial control systems
• Ability to interpret P&IDs, control schematics and engineering documentation

Experience of CompEx, ATEX, DSEAR, hazardous areas, Functional Safety, SIL, PCS7, IEC 62443, Beckhoff, Wago, Codesys or PI/OSIsoft would be highly advantageous.

This is a rare opportunity to become a key controls specialist within a growing renewable‑energy business. You’ll have the autonomy to solve complex engineering problems and directly influence plant safety, reliability and performance.
