Role Overview
We are looking for a Controls & Design Engineer to join the UK Engineering team.
This is a varied engineering role combining design, controls, product development and technical support. You will be involved in producing engineering drawings and schematics, developing and improving products, researching and testing control systems, and supporting both internal teams and customer applications.
The position would suit someone with a mechanical, electrical or product design background who enjoys working across a mixture of practical engineering, design and development projects.
Key Responsibilities
Produce engineering drawings, schematics and associated Bills of Materials (BOMs).
Develop work instructions and supporting engineering documentation.
Support the development of new products from initial concept through to testing and validation.
Research, develop and test electrical and diesel control systems.
Identify and implement continuous improvements to existing products and engineering processes.
Create and maintain engineering information including part numbers, BOMs and technical records.
Produce technical documentation including manuals, guides and instructions.
Provide technical and application support to colleagues and customers.
Work closely with the wider Engineering team on development and improvement projects.
Support engineering administration as required.
The role is primarily focused on continuous improvement, product development and engineering administration, alongside schematic production and application support.
Skills & Experience
Ideally, you will have:
At least 1 year's experience within a design or engineering office environment, either gained through employment or as part of further education.
Experience using CAD software, with SolidWorks preferred.
An understanding of electrical and diesel control systems.
Exposure to PLC programming, CODESYS and/or scripting would be advantageous.
Experience or knowledge of rotating machinery, steel fabrication or control systems would be beneficial.
Qualifications
A BSc/BEng in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Product Design would be advantageous, although this is not essential.

We are looking for someone who:
Has a positive, flexible and proactive approach to their work.
Can work accurately to deadlines and perform effectively under pressure.
Has strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Demonstrates excellent attention to detail.
Is comfortable managing multiple priorities.
Is keen to learn and develop their technical knowledge.
Takes an active interest in the wider engineering industry.
Is self-motivated, curious and willing to investigate and solve problems.
Location & Travel
The role is site-based in Hadleigh, Suffolk.
Occasional travel may be required throughout the UK and internationally to visit customers and attend exhibitions. Candidates will therefore require a valid UK driving licence and passport.
This version makes it sound much more like an actual engineering vacancy rather than an internal HR form, while staying faithful to what Pioneer Pump have supplied.
