Graduate PLC software engineer

We are looking for an ambitious Graduate Engineer to join our team in Farnborough. Unlike many field-based PLC roles, this position is mainly office-based , focusing on the design, development, and simulation of industrial software solutions. You will work closely with our senior engineering team to translate client requirements into robust automated systems.

Increase your chances of an interview by reading the following overview of this role before making an application.
The Role: More Than Just Coding
While your core focus will be PLC systems and industrial software, this isn't a "cubicle-only" coding job. We are looking for a graduate who wants to understand the entire lifecycle of an engineering project.
In this role, you won't just be writing logic; youll be getting hands-on with the hardware and the business side of engineering. You will have the opportunity to:
Master the Hardware: Get "stuck in" with the physical side of systems, including Control Panel design, wiring layouts, and the integration of Inverter Drives .
Engineering Theory in Practice: Go beyond basic logic to implement advanced PID Control loops and fine-tune system performance.
Commercial Exposure: Work alongside our Sales and Applications team. Youll help provide technical solutions for clients, learn how to spec products, and understand the commercial value of the systems you build.
Who You Are
A "Get Stuck In" Attitude: Youre as comfortable looking at a circuit diagram or a drive manual as you are a screen of code.
Technical Versatility: You have an interest in the "physical" side of automationDrives, Motors, and Panelsnot just the software.
Confident Communicator: Youre happy to step away from the desk to talk to a supplier or help a salesperson explain a technical concept to a customer.
Adaptable: You enjoy a varied workday where you might be tuning a PID loop in the morning and assisting with a technical sales proposal in the afternoon.
Requirements
Education: A recent degree (BEng/MEng) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Control Systems, Mechatronics, or Computer Science.
Foundational Knowledge: An understanding of PLC architectures (e.g., Siemens TIA Portal, Unitronics, Rockwell Studio 5000, or Mitsubishi).
Programming Logic: Familiarity with C/C++ or similar would also be useful
Communication: Excellent written and verbal English, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. xwzovoh
Local: Must be within a commutable distance of Farnborough.
Company Holiday: 20 days per year plus bank holidays and an extra discretionary amount for the Christmas period
Ongoing training and possibility of specific training courses if deemed appropriate
Possible foreign travel, factory visits, on site training with PLC hardware manufacturers
Early finish on Friday
