FAQ
Questions people ask
Which employers are hiring controls engineers in London?
Today the employers with the most live controls engineer jobs in and around London, not counting recruitment agencies, are KeystoneStaffing Limited, M Group, Notion4 Limited, ReeVR and Amazon. This changes every day.
How much does a controls engineer earn in London?
We do not estimate pay: a job card shows pay only when the advert states it. The national figures for the occupation are on our controls engineer salary page and on the controls engineer page. Pay in London can be above or below the national median depending on the sector and the shift pattern.
What does a controls engineer do?
A controls engineer designs, programs, tests and commissions the control system of a machine or plant: PLC logic, HMI and SCADA screens, drive settings and instrument loops. The work splits between the office (design and programming), the workshop (testing the panel) and the customer's site (commissioning and fault finding).
Controls engineer or automation engineer: what is the difference?
In industry the titles overlap a lot. A controls engineer usually focuses on the control system itself, and an automation engineer on automating a process or line, which can include robots and the software around the controls. Read the duties in the advert, not only the title.
Are any of these London jobs from visa sponsors?
1 of the 25 live jobs are from an employer on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, or say sponsorship is offered. A sponsor licence is not a promise of sponsorship for this job. You should never pay an employer or agent for a job or for sponsorship.
