Automation Design Engineer



Monday to Friday (8am - 4.30pm)



£50000 - £55000



Here’s the deal: A major business within their industry with 50,000+ colleagues across 100's of countries. They solve problems at scale, push innovation every day, and create solutions that make a difference for millions of people worldwide. Sustainability, safety, and smart design aren’t just buzzwords here - this is how they work.



Now, if you're hungry to build, innovate, and get hands-on with the systems that keep our operations running like clockwork. If that’s you, keep reading.



The Role

You’ll be in the thick of it. Designing, programming, troubleshooting, and improving automation systems. You’ll collaborate with smart, driven teams to make sure our operations run smoother, faster, and smarter. You’ll report to the Engineering Manager and work Monday to Friday - but the impact you’ll have? Big.



It's a great forwards step for an current automation engineer, highly skilled electrical engineer or someone already doing the same role but looking to join a business that will enhance your career!



What You’ll Do



Build and maintain automation control systems: PLC programming, control panels, the works



Keep our industrial processes under control with real-time monitoring systems



Collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize and improve production



Solve problems others can’t, troubleshoot systems, and keep things moving



Train operators and maintenance teams to be as effective as possible



Keep everything safe, compliant, and top-quality



What We’re Looking For



HNC or degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Automation )



Strong PLC programming and HMI experience



Familiarity with industrial networks and communication protocols (Modbus, Ethernet/IP)



Problem solver. Thinker. Doer. Team player. Communicator.



Hungry to learn, improve, and make an impact



I don’t just want someone to fill a seat. I want someone who wants to build things that matter, who wants to take ownership, and who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty
