You will get very good career exposure and variety in terms of the industry sectors and clients you will work across, the types of projects you will do, plus the wide range of control systems you can work on.

I have enjoyed working with the managers there over a few years now and find them to be an approachable, reasonable, and down to earth employer who will treat you fairly, seek to help you grow & develop, and give you work in areas that are of interest to you.

You will be paid current industry rates, and the addition of overtime after 40 hours, and site allowances means you will truly be paid for what you do.
