Design and develop electrical, instrumentation, and control systems for water and wastewater treatment projects as a Graduate EICA Design Engineer.

The Vacancy

We are looking for a Graduate EICA Design Engineer to join our Control Panel Design team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and developing electrical, instrumentation, and control systems for water and wastewater treatment projects. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure designs meet technical, safety, and regulatory standards.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a technically skilled engineer who enjoys problem-solving and delivering innovative solutions. You will be involved in every stage of the design process—from concept development to commissioning support—while staying up to date with the latest technologies and best practices in automation and control systems.
