An ambitious clean-tech company is on a mission to make innovative energy storage the global standard. Enabling manufacturers, industrial processors, and heavy-energy users to decarbonise at scale.

As part of their growth, theyre looking for a Process Controls Engineer to take ownership of the control logic, instrumentation, and system architecture behind a next-generation thermal energy storage steam generator. This is a pivotal opportunity to shape a first-of-its-kind industrial product as it moves through design, prototype optimisation, and deployment into real customer sites.

As Process Controls Engineer, you will:

Become the internal authority on control sequences, fluids system control, and instrumentation guiding the operability, safety, and performance of a breakthrough energy system. Youll work across concept design, detailed engineering, prototype testing, and customer-site integration.

This is a rare opportunity to:

Shape the full control architecture of a new industrial clean-energy product

Influence how the system operates, responds, and manages faults across all conditions

Work closely with fluids, mechanical, and automation specialists to ensure seamless system behaviour

Play a hands-on role in prototype optimisation and commissioning on real industrial sites

Key Responsibilities

Own the complete control logic and operating sequences for the thermal storage steam generator

Design high-level control strategies to maximise system operability, safety, and performance

Specify instrumentation and controls hardware including valves, VFDs, pressure/temperature sensors, flow meters, and safety devices

Essential Experience

Proven experience designing complete control sequences for complex or novel industrial systems

Strong knowledge of industrial fluids systems (valves, pumps, piping), ideally including steam processes, especially from a controls perspective

Strong knowledge of fluids instrumentation and control hardware

Why Join

Youll be part of a mission-driven, supportive team working toward a cleaner industrial future. Expect an informal, inclusive culture where every voice is valued. Flexible working, share options, and family-friendly policies are all part of the offering.
