Controls Systems Engineer

A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Systems Engineer with Controls, Electrical, Instrumentation Engineering specialty your primary objective will be to manage in-service technical issues and support our customer operations of the gas turbine packages to be more efficient. You can expect to get involved with executing small projects, supporting install & commissioning remotely or on site, and supporting development of in-service product improvements and solutions.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Get hands on with troubleshooting issues and devising systemic and sustaining solutions to help our customers keep their equipment operational in a safe manner. From providing input into user documentation to travel overseas may be required on occasions.
• Work with our Operational Service Desk, Technical Support and Field Service teams across the globe in supporting customers with urgent operational issues, troubleshooting and maintenance which require specialist Product or Engineering knowledge.
• Support development of Industrial Control Systems software updates for retrofit projects, identifying scope, develop and execute verification and validation plans, and support site installation and testing of solutions to communicate with field service and customer representatives efficiently and effectively.
• Facilitate healthy knowledge sharing within the wider Portfolio in Service engineering and Controls & Systems engineering groups across different locations.
• Be directly involved in product safety and reliability investigations and improvement programmes; data gathering and analysis, Root Cause Analysis techniques, develop potential solutions and improvement opportunities to the business.

What You Bring

• A degree or equivalent professionally accredited or recognised in an engineering discipline preferably relating to the fields of Controls, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, and Software.
• Working experience of industrial controls systems applications, advantageous to have specific experience with Allen Bradley or Siemens brand PLCs, and Rockwell, Bentley Nevada or Siemens vibration system products, or having worked with similar products applications for industrial gas turbine technology, rotating equipment or general process plant operations.
• You will be able to problem solve with practical application of root cause analysis techniques and have broad outlook combined with analytical mind-set: ability to make logical connections and understand the big picture quickly, as well as having a critical eye for details.
• Familiarity of change/configuration management tools and processes, project engineering methods as well as experience with relevant industry standards (e.g. IEEE, IEC, etc.) would be desirable.
• Experience of working with industrial aero-derivative gas turbine technology or similar industrial products for Oil & Gas or Energy industry would be advantageous, but experience from other industries with transferable skills could also be considered.
• Practitioner of a Systems Engineering approach to product improvement is highly desirable.
• Practical knowledge of modelling techniques and tools, and Use of simulation and system modelling tools or programming languages would be advantageous.
• Work in creative environments, employ outside-the-box thinking.
• Have experience working in culturally diverse environments and excellent communicator and facilitation skills.
• Strong communication and reporting skills in English is important, with an appreciation of cultural differences that comes with a global customer base.

This team is a diverse mix of individuals backgrounds and experiences, mostly in the UK but also has team members located in the US. Our team touches many functions in AGT as a support function and works closely with complementary core package engineering teams in Canada and USA with the execution on specific Projects. The primary responsibility of our team is working with the various Regions and Field Services to support the in-service fleet of aero-derivative gas turbine packages used in Power Generations and Oil & Gas industry. We are also supporting our customers in their new developments for decarbonisation.
