We're looking for a lead Instrument & Controls Engineer to take charge of ICSS projects at a busy chemical manufacturing plant. You'll work across a variety of projects from CAPEX to maintenance contributing to everything from concept design to execution.

You'll need solid experience with Siemens and GE Mk 6eS turbine control systems, TUV Functional Safety Engineer certification, and Compex Ex12. Experience with IACS cyber security in a COMAH environment? Even better.

If you're ready to lead technically complex work and make your mark, let's chat.

What will I be doing?

· Take the lead on project delivery managing budgets, timelines, vendors, and everything in between.

· Get involved in the full design lifecycle, from early concept and FEED right through to detailed engineering and execution.

· Shape project plans, write up specs, and back up cost estimates with solid insight while selecting the right instruments and safety devices to ISA standards.

· Review and sign off on key instrumentation documents like P&IDs, loop drawings, datasheets, and FAT procedures.

· Dive into data using tools like SAP, Analytics for Excel, and Tableau to guide smarter decisions and keep control documentation up to date.

· Own the commissioning phase-manage the schedule, tweak scopes where needed, and make sure everything runs smoothly on-site.

What do I need to succeed?

· You know your way around ICSS design standards, safety codes, and specifications like the back of your hand.

· You've worked hands-on with steam and gas turbine control systems-especially Siemens and GE Mk 6eS.

· You're TUV Functional Safety Engineer certified, so safety is second nature to you.

· You've got your Compex Ex12 qualification under your belt.

· Bonus if you bring experience in IACS cybersecurity within a COMAH environment-think oil & gas, petrochemicals, or similar.

What's my next step?

Sound like a good fit? Hit the apply button and we'll be in touch soon to chat through the next steps. This role falls inside IR35 with rates offered on a PAYE basis, but if you'd prefer to go through an umbrella company, that's totally fine too. We'll walk you through the details once you apply
