Control System Engineer

NES Fircroft has partnered with a well-established and growing electrical contractor and engineering business delivering projects across the infrastructure and industrial sectors, to recruit a Control Systems Engineer. This role sits within the Water Infrastructure Business Unit in their South-West Brisbane office.

About the Role

It’s an opportunity to join a team where there is plenty happening, with the chance to become involved in projects that are both technically interesting and genuinely rewarding to see through different stages. You’ll be involved across PLC and HMI programming, SCADA systems, control system upgrades, testing and commissioning, while working closely with electrical engineers, project teams and other specialists to help deliver projects from design through to completion. You’ll also have the opportunity to play a key role within the wider team, sharing your knowledge and mentoring engineers around you while working alongside people with different areas of expertise. As you become more involved in the projects and wider business, there’s scope to take on greater ownership and broaden your experience across electrical engineering and project management, giving you the chance to influence projects beyond the controls package itself. The exciting part is that you won’t necessarily know exactly where the role can take you from day one. With a growing pipeline of projects and a business that is continuing to develop, there is plenty of scope to build upon your technical knowledge as well as gain valuable skills in other areas.

• Demonstrating a strong willingness to improve on the knowledge of the Business Unit frameworks and ensure own compliance with project practices and standards
• Demonstrate the ability in resolving technical issues, conducting investigations into and report fault finding
• Show a strong understanding or knowledge of electrical engineering capabilities/responsibilities.
