What if your next move let you work across the UK and overseas while helping bring complex machinery to life? If you’re a Commissioning Engineer who enjoys independence, problem solving and variety, this could be a strong fit.
You’ll join a small, ambitious team led by someone who’s spent more than a decade with the business. The company has grown from £2 million to £20 million and the commissioning function is developing quickly, which gives you room to make a real impact.
Your time will be split between the workshop in Nelson and customer sites. You’ll commission machines before they ship, then head out to get them running smoothly on site through fault finding, PLC tweaks and performance tuning. UK visits are usually short and overseas projects tend to last a couple of weeks, with plenty of notice, and you’ll get to work in locations across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
To settle in quickly, you’ll need experience commissioning equipment, confidence working with Siemens, Allen Bradley or Mitsubishi PLCs and a mixed mechanical and electrical background. Experience with pneumatics and production environments like food, pharma or packaging will help.
You’ll need to stay calm, communicate clearly and be comfortable working independently at times, supported by a team that wants you to succeed. With the department growing from two to six engineers, you’ll have clear paths into senior or more PLC-focused roles.
If you’d like to explore it, feel free to get in touch on 0161 250 5326 or eloisa@optima-cs.com.
