Overview

Do you have proven experience in the design and implementation of SCADA control systems and integration with Rockwell competency? Do you thrive in a multidisciplinary environment where your control systems expertise directly shapes nuclear and industrial innovation? Are you looking for a new assignment with a company that values technical leadership, real responsibility, and meaningful impact?

The opportunity is available for a highly experienced SCADA/Control Systems Engineer to support a major nuclear project. The assignment will be based in Warrington, with Stockton-on-Tees and West Cumbria also considered. Hybrid working is available based around a working week of 40 hours. The rate will be dependent on experience due to the potential for candidates of different levels of seniority to apply.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, implement and test HMI/SCADA control systems, producing high-quality engineering design documentation such as URS/RTM, System/Functional Design Specifications (SDD/FDS), Detailed Software System Specifications (SSS), Test Specifications (Module/Integration/System/Hardware), O&M Manuals, System Rebuild Documentation, I/O, Alarm & Message Schedules, and support with Life Time Records / Material Traceability Records.
