Instrumentation and Control Engineer Role Summary
An experienced Instrumentation and Control Engineer is required to support the design, installation, and commissioning of control system hardware across multiple automation platforms.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design engineer for I&C systems from field instrumentation through to control panels and HMIs
* Lead redline reviews of loop drawings, wiring diagrams, and system architecture documentation
* Define scope of work, bill of materials, and specifications for I&C contractors
* Participate in FATs, installation supervision, and MC walkdowns
* Coordinate and execute loop checks and commissioning activities
* Ensure all design and project work complies with cGMP, EHS, and regulatory standards
The role involves close collaboration with projects, electrical, and process teams, as well as external vendors. A strong background in control panel design, I/O systems (4-20mA, 24VDC), and industrial bus networks is essential.
Requirements:
* Degree in Engineering or related discipline
* Minimum 5 years' experience in instrumentation and control systems within the pharma or biotech sector

* Familiarity with GMP-compliant engineering documentation (P&IDs, PFDs, SOPs)
* Working knowledge of control system safety standards
* Effective communicator and collaborative team player with strong organisational skills
This role requires full-time physical presence at the manufacturing site due to the hands-on nature of commissioning and collaboration across project teams. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of delivering robust control hardware solutions in a fast-paced environment.
