Commissioning Engineer

Cure Talent are delighted to be partnered with a specialist engineering company with an outstanding reputation for designing, building and supporting bespoke automation, control and monitoring systems for the Life Sciences sector and other highly regulated industries.

Due to continued growth, we have an exciting opportunity for a hands-on Commissioning Engineer to join their engineering team, installing and commissioning complex control and instrumentation systems at customer sites across the UK and occasionally overseas.

This is a varied, field-based role ideally suited to an engineer who enjoys being on site, getting systems up and running, fault finding and working directly with customers. You''ll support projects through installation, commissioning and testing, before providing ongoing technical support once systems are operational. This reflects the underlying role, which covers installation, commissioning, FAT/SAT and lifetime customer support.

Key responsibilities

• Install, commission and test control and instrumentation systems at customer sites.
• Carry out panel wiring, final electrical terminations and associated installation work.
• Execute FAT/SAT testing, fault find systems and resolve electrical, hardware and controls issues.
• Configure application software, Windows-based systems and associated hardware.
• Work directly with customers and subcontractors through commissioning, handover and ongoing technical support.
• Travel regularly to customer sites across the UK, with some projects requiring up to two weeks away from home and occasional overseas travel.

Experience and skills required

• Previous experience in a Commissioning, Service, Controls or similar hands-on engineering role.
• Experience installing, commissioning and fault finding electrical/control systems.
• Comfortable with panel wiring, electrical terminations and electrical test equipment.
• Experience with instrumentation, PLC I/O and control systems.
• SCADA experience would be advantageous, although any platform will be considered.
• Strong customer-facing skills, a full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly.

If you''re a practical Commissioning Engineer who enjoys getting systems up and running, solving technical problems and working directly with customers on a variety of engineering projects, we''d be keen to hear from you.
