Telemetry Configuration / Testing Engineer

Kings Lynn

Dodd Group was formed in 1947 in Shropshire and has remained a privately owned family business ever since. With an unrivalled reputation within the building services sector, we offer a comprehensive electrical and mechanical design, installation and maintenance service across many sectors.

The King’s Lynn branch of Dodd Group is expanding its Telemetry Configuration Team that configures, tests and supports the installation of microprocessor-based telemetry outstations on water utility sites.

The role demands accuracy, an eye for detail, a diligent nature and an affinity for technology, computing and problem-solving. Competence and confidence with MS Office are necessary – particularly Excel. Experience of telemetry, PLC systems, instrumentation or similar systems will be a distinct advantage.

The preferred candidates will be capable of carrying out activities such as:

• 
  
• ‘Desktop surveys’ of I/O, control and communications requirements based on existing outstation configurations.
  
• Remapping outstation and PLC data from existing templates to new ones.
  
• Recreating modular and bespoke control and signal conditioning software code using commercial (e.g. Straton, RSLogix) and proprietary applications.
  
• Functional testing of configured hardware at works.
  
• ‘Top-end’ support of outstation installation and commissioning.
  
• Carrying out periodic quality checks of data from newly-installed outstations.
  
• Creating/updating outstation mimics (interactive process diagrams) on the ‘top-end’ system.
  

You will receive full training on the telemetry equipment and software tools.

You will be working for a company who will offer you a structured opportunity to progress your career and offer continued support and training. You will receive a competitive salary, life cover, pension, 21 days per year annual leave (plus public holidays).

You’ll be working in a friendly, inclusive environment where people understand the value of their contribution and are encouraged to recognise a job well done. You’ll be part of an open, engaged culture where everyone has a voice and the opportunity to get involved, as well as make a real difference.

Dodd Group is proud to be a forces friendly employer
