We're partnering with a leading FMCG manufacturer to find a skilled Industrial Automation
Engineer to support day-to-day site operations in a fast-paced, highly automated environment. This is a technical, hands-on role working across robotics, packaging and production systems within a 24/7 operation.

* Contribute to minor automation improvements and reliability enhancements
* Collaborate with electrical, mechanical and production teams to maintain performance across key assets
* Work closely with the engineering team to ensure site automation runs efficiently, safely and reliably
* While the focus is business-as-usual, there may be opportunities to contribute to future project work as site upgrades and capex activity progresses
What You'll Bring
* Qualifications in Electrical, Mechatronics or Automation Engineering
* Experience in automation or controls within a manufacturing or FMCG setting
* Strong working knowledge of Rockwell/Allen-Bradley systems (PLCs, HMIs, SCADA)
* Practical troubleshooting skills and a strong understanding of production environments
* A collaborative approach and ability to support multiple teams in a fast-paced setting
Why Join?
