Precision matters here.
If you're someone who gets satisfaction from making things run just right — and you’ve got an eye for instrumentation, furnaces, and control systems — then this could be your ideal role.

You’ll be joining a world-class engineering site that’s invested in high-tech kit and committed to safety, performance, and continuous improvement.

What you’ll be doing: Instrumentation & Controls Technician

* Carrying out fault-finding and maintenance on control systems, instrumentation, and furnace equipment (VIM, VAR, ESR, heat treatment lines, etc.).

* Running compliance work — including calibrations, TUS and SAT testing.

* Supporting PLC and Burner Management Systems fault diagnostics.

* Creating and sticking to PPM schedules to keep plant uptime high.

* Logging everything through the site CMMS and using it for diagnosis.

* Collaborating with engineers, OEM partners, and the wider site team.

* Suggesting improvements on spares, systems, and lean processes.

What we’re looking for: Instrumentation & Controls Technician

* Background in medium to heavy manufacturing or similar industrial setting.

* Strong understanding of instrumentation, control logic, and diagnostics.

* Ability to read electrical & mechanical schematics and trend recordings.

* Comfortable with furnaces, sensors, calibration, and compliance routines.

* PC literate and confident with CMMS tools.

* Qualifications like NVQ, ONC, HNC, or equivalent in engineering.

This role is perfect for someone who likes getting stuck into the how and why of plant performance — not just reacting to breakdowns. If that’s you, let’s chat
