Technica is an independent engineering and construction company solving complex challenges for the UK and international energy sectors. We deliver turnkey, multi-disciplinary projects - from design through to build - with control, confidence and care.

Our 'Why':
"Technica believe in long-term relationships. We want our clients to have total trust that we'll deliver excellence in our solutions to their engineering problems."

We're entering a bold new chapter, underpinned by a 5-Year growth strategy that will see Technica evolve, expand and play a leading role in the energy transition. We're looking for people who want to build something meaningful - for themselves, our clients, and our sector.

Why this role matters

We're hiring a Control and Instrumentation Designer to help deliver some of our most important engineering projects. But this is more than technical design - it's about how our clients experience working with Technica.

You'll bring ideas to life through detailed C&I designs, contributing directly to project success while acting as a trusted partner to both our clients and engineering teams.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Thrives on technical problem-solving, clarity in complex environments, and takes real pride in the detail of their work

• Has the motivation to step into a new sector and the curiosity to grow with support

You'll work on a diverse range of engineering challenges, collaborating with some of the most experienced EC&I professionals in the industry. Whether it's specifying instrumentation, designing control systems, or integrating with other engineering disciplines, your work will have a direct impact.

You don't need deep experience in every part of EC&I or the energy sector to succeed here. If you bring strong C&I fundamentals, a proactive mindset, and a desire to grow, we'll support you every step of the way.
