The primary focus of your work will involve:

  • Taking a lead role in design, programming, installation, commissioning, debugging and testing of Control Systems used for process machinery or desktop prototypes.
  • Taking fundamental design concepts from initiation through to R&D or production equipment.

About You:

To be successful, you will be degree qualified as a minimum in an Electrical, Electronic or Control Engineering discipline or equivalent. Extensive experience of Siemens PLC control systems, HMI Configuration, and SCADA type systems is essential.  You will need to be able to demonstrate proven experience in a related role in which you have designed ground up complex engineering solutions and demonstrated a creative and innovative approach to problem solving. The ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously is key â itâs an exciting time of growth here at Abbott and youâll be exposed to a variety of work packages. You will bring leadership skills, ideally from line management, but those with project leading experience will also be considered â we are looking for someone with passion to lead a small team, growing their individual and team success. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in a regulated environment.

What we offer:

In addition to a competitive salary, Abbott offers a highly attractive benefits package which includes a defined-contribution pension scheme, a share ownership scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme which you can tailor to your own requirements.
