Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)A leading global engineering and automation organisation is building a next-generation control system platform designed to standardise and modernise conveyor and material-handling operations across large-scale fulfilment and distribution facilities worldwide. The first deployment is already underway, with many more planned.
We are launching a Controls Engineering Academy : a structured programme that takes early-career electrical and controls engineers, provides intensive training on industry-leading controls platforms and processes, and deploys them into engineering teams working on real-world projects.
What You'll Get
An intensive onsite bootcamp led by professional instructors covering the platform, processes, tools, and software workflow
Deployment into engineering teams on live projects: reading control-area drawings, building and testing configurations that bring conveyor systems to life, and supporting commissioning activities
Monthly structured learning and professional development throughout your first year
A verifiable professional accreditation on completion
Real experience on one of the most significant industrial controls transformation programmes in the industry, with potential long-term career opportunities for high performers
What You'll Do:
Translate electrical drawings and I/O lists into application configurations
Test configurations in simulation and on real hardware, including industrial networks, motorised rollers, sensors, and safety I/O devices
Support commissioning activities as facilities go live
Work using modern software engineering practices including Git, code reviews, daily standups, and effort estimation
Who We're Looking For
Degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or equivalent hands‑on experience as a Controls Technician or PLC Programmer (approximately 0‑4 years)
Hands‑on PLC exposure on any platform, including Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff, CODESYS, B&R, or Schneider
Comfortable reading schematics, wiring diagrams, and I/O lists
Some programming experience in any language, with an interest in learning text-based programming and version control
Curious, hands‑on, and naturally inclined to troubleshoot and solve technical problems
Able to travel or relocate for training and project deployments as required
