Mark Burn — Control Systems & Automation Leadership

I provide senior-level control systems advisory, digitalisation strategy, and technical leadership support on a consulting, interim, and fractional basis.

Everything I do is guided by a simple principle: making sure the job is done right.

That means clear standards, structured delivery, strong technical governance, and practical leadership rather than theory.

I'm an experienced engineering leader with a background in industrial automation, control systems, maintenance strategy, and operational improvement. My experience spans site-level engineering management through to multi-site technical leadership — legacy upgrades, standards alignment, systems integration, and building engineering capability within teams. I'm particularly strong where technical detail meets accountability: modernising ageing assets, raising engineering standards, or bringing structure to delivery.

Currently available for

  • Short-term advisory and technical authority engagements
  • Interim engineering / automation leadership
  • Fractional controls or automation lead roles
  • Project-based delivery: legacy system upgrades, standards alignment, controls specification and review

Supporting businesses in the North East of England. Available for engagements, remote or on-site.
