We’re recruiting on behalf of a highly successful group of UK manufacturing companies – a trusted first-tier supplier to major automotive OEMs. The group is expanding, investing heavily in automation, and now requires a skilled PLC Programmer to support its next stage of production innovation.
If you enjoy programming systems that drive real world manufacturing performance — and want to be part of a business modernising at pace — this is a standout opportunity.
The Role
As the dedicated PLC Programmer, you will play a key part in automation and new product integration:
* Program PLCs in ladder logic to control waterjet cutting machinery
* Create, optimise and maintain cutting programs for new and existing products
* Support new product introduction into full-scale production
* Improve machine utilisation, cycle times and reliability
* Work cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, engineering, and operations
* Troubleshoot control issues and continuously enhance system performance
You will not be desk-locked — expect hands-on interaction with equipment and real engineering impact on the shop floor.
You Will Bring
We’re open on sector background, but your PLC skills must be strong and proven.
* Advanced PLC programming capability
* Exposure to manufacturing automation, robotics or industrial controls
* Ability to diagnose, fault-find and improve control systems
* A collaborative, solutions-focused approach
* Good grounding in manufacturing processes (any industry considered)
Waterjet experience isn’t required — full process familiarisation will be provided.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Join a growing UK manufacturing group with major automation investment
* Modernisation projects, robotics integration and smart production underway
* Hybrid working + flexible hours
* Clear opportunity to influence how automation evolves
* Occasional travel for cross-site collaboration (Sutton Coldfield + Coventry)
