Career · Global Control Group

Work on machines, controls and software.

At Global Control Group, machines, controls and software come together. Our engineering team works on industrial automation, from electrical design and PLC/HMI to embedded systems, IT/OT and commissioning.

  • From drawings to a working installation

    The work involves real machines and the people who use them. It may mean investigating a fault, developing control software or commissioning equipment on site. Our team works with B&R, Siemens, WAGO and CODESYS. The application determines the technology.

  • Learn beyond your own discipline

    You do not need to know everything already. We do expect you to want to understand why something works and why it sometimes does not. You work directly with the engineers delivering the project and can discuss technical decisions with colleagues.

  • Close to the project

    As an experienced engineer, you want to know which technical decisions you can make yourself. At GCG, design, programming, testing and handover are part of the same work. You coordinate directly with colleagues and customers. Based on your experience and the project, we discuss the responsibility you take on, from a defined part of the software to the control system and commissioning.

  • Volendam, Cyprus and on site

    GCG has locations in the Netherlands and Cyprus and also works internationally on installations and commissioning. Work location and travel depend on the role and assignment, and are agreed in advance.

Guidance through real engineering work

Raymond guides colleagues in controls and software and has taught at De Techniekschool for more than ten years. Lucas independently developed a measurement system and converted a robot installation into a demonstration and test cell. Nick develops communication between applications and hardware. Their stories show the responsibilities involved.

At an introductory meeting, discuss what matters to you too: technical responsibility, guidance, work location, travel and employment terms. The details depend on the role we discuss together.

Our engineers’ work

  • From sensor readings to operator information.

    Lucas · Siemens / IO-Link

    Lucas delivered a PLC/HMI system for measuring pleat height and pack width. Measurement processing, limit monitoring and calibration turn sensor data into useful information at the machine.

  • A digital request identifies the right compartment.

    Nick · Pick-by-Light / RS485

    Nick wrote an RS485 driver for a Pick-by-Light system. The communication connects a request from an application or database to the hardware indicating the storage location.
