PLC and SCADA Engineering Recruitment
Specialist recruitment for PLC, SCADA, DCS, and I&C engineers across Australia and the USA.
PLC and SCADA engineering is one of the most undersupplied disciplines in the Australian market. Demand is accelerating across mining, energy transition, water infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing — yet the talent pool is tightly constrained. RunTime Recruitment specialises in finding experienced controls engineers who understand real industrial environments, not just theory. We place engineers across the full controls stack from field instrumentation through to plant-wide SCADA and enterprise historian systems. We also support international sponsorship for qualified controls engineers, giving our clients access to a global talent pool that domestic-only agencies cannot reach.
