• ECS Gold card holder or eligibility (covered by company)
• SSSTS or SMSTS qualification (highly desirable)
• Experience in service, support, installation, or maintenance roles

• Familiarity with control panel design, manufacture, and installation
• Experience with PLC equipment installation and commissioning is a plus
• Strong communication skills — both verbal and written
• Full UK driving licence and right to work in the UK

• Receive full PLC training and opportunities to grow your technical skills
