·          A good working knowledge of Allen Bradley PLC hardware and Rockwell RSLogix software including the ability to construct code from original concept.

·          A proven track record in fault finding and/or commissioning a variety of control systems.

·          A good working knowledge of Citect SCADA software including the ability to construct code from original concept.

Additional experience that would be of benefit includes:
