About the Role

We’re looking for a skilled Electrical & Controls Engineer to join CanDoIt Solutions — a leading team at the forefront of digital transformation across food, energy, and infrastructure sectors in Australia.

In this full-time role, you'll work on end-to-end delivery of electrical and automation systems across a growing portfolio of innovative projects — from designing clean, smart food manufacturing facilities to upgrading critical infrastructure and gas SCADA networks.

This is a role for someone who thrives on solving real-world engineering challenges and wants to work across electrical design, PLC programming, and SCADA systems in one place — with a team that values curiosity, initiative, and strong technical standards.

What You’ll Be Doing

Delivering project work across electrical, controls, and SCADA — from concept design to commissioning and handover.

Designing and specifying control panels, electrical schematics, Safety Design, and field wiring to Australian standards.

Programming PLC systems (especially Allen-Bradley and Omron) for sequence control, interlocks, automation logic and PLC Safety.

Configuring and deploying modern SCADA systems — ideally Ignition — for real-time visibility, alarming, and reporting.

Liaising with clients, suppliers, and project teams to define requirements and ensure quality delivery.

Providing ongoing support to operations and maintenance teams — with a focus on reliability, safety, and usability.

Staying current with regulatory standards (e.g. AS3000, AS4024) and industry best practices in controls and automation.

Key Projects You’ll Be Working On

Full-system design & automation for food and beverage facilities — including batching, packaging, and traceability.

Gas network SCADA upgrade projects, including secure communications, remote telemetry, and high-availability architecture.

Critical infrastructure upgrades involving protection systems, PLC/SCADA replacements, and safety system design.

Who You Are

A qualified Electrical or Controls Engineer with at least 5 years of industry experience. RPEQ Ideally.

Comfortable across both control system design and hands-on commissioning.

Proficient with PLC programming (Allen-Bradley and/or Omron preferred).

Experienced in SCADA development, with Ignition SCADA highly regarded.

Skilled in reading and producing electrical schematics using CAD tools.

A strong communicator who enjoys solving real problems with clients and trades.

Knowledgeable of key Australian standards and industrial safety requirements.

What We Offer

Competitive salary with bonus potential based on performance and project delivery.

Flexible work arrangements and the option to support hybrid or remote delivery (where applicable).

Exposure to multi-disciplinary projects with a high level of ownership and technical influence.

Access to mentoring, formal training, and growth into lead or senior roles over time.

A genuinely collaborative environment with a team that loves solving hard technical problems.
