Job Description: 

We are seeking a Controls & Automation Engineer to lead the design, programming, and implementation of PLC-based automation systems involving actuators, temperature control units and other sensors. The ideal candidate will be capable of electrical control box design, PLC programming, and conducting experimentation and validation of manufacturing processes. This role involves not only the technical design and implementation of control systems but also structured testing and refinement of the overall process performance. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Design, program, and troubleshoot PLC-based control systems (Control FPWIN Pro, Structured Text). 
• Design electrical control panels, including component selection, wiring, and safety standards. 
• Integrate and configure sensors, actuators, and associated hardware. 
• Create electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.  
• Design and run experiments to validate manufacturing processes. 
• Analyse test data and refine hardware/software for improved functionality and reliability. 
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., mechanical, software, production). 

Qualifications: 

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field. 
• Recent graduate or 1–2 years of experience in industrial automation, controls engineering, or related roles. 
• Hands-on experience with PLC programming, control box design, and sensor integration. 
• Experience running and analysing tests or experiments to validate and optimize manufacturing processes. 
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to iterate on system designs. 

Nice-to-Have: 

• Experience with food processing automation or similar production line systems. 
• Knowledge of data acquisition and analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Python). 
• Ability to write clear documentation and test reports. 

Benefits 

• A front-row seat in a fast-growing food brand doing things differently. 
• Real ownership over projects — your ideas won't sit in a document; they’ll get made, tested, and celebrated. 
• Freedom to bring your creativity and ideas to life. 
• Personal growth opportunities as we scale - you will grow as we do. 
• Collaborative, no-ego team culture. 
• Staff discounts, access to industry events, and the chance to make a real impact early in your career.
