Job Description
Project & Automation Engineer ️
The Opportunity:
Join a fast-growing, innovation-led food manufacturer on a mission to shake up the industry with smarter, faster, more automated production. If you love building systems, solving real-world problems, and getting your hands dirty — this one’s for you.
What You’ll Be Doing:
*
Lead and support automation upgrades and process improvement projects.
*
Design, build, and install control panels, mechanical rigs, and automation systems.
*
Modify and program PLCs and HMIs (Siemens, Omron etc.).
*
Install and calibrate sensors, motors, solenoids, and safety systems.
*
Collaborate with maintenance, production, and tech teams on new equipment and upgrades.
*
Help build out a workshop from scratch — spec the kit, tools, and layout.
*
Support junior engineers and contribute to a high-performance, hands-on culture.
What You’ll Need:
*
Proven experience in automation/controls engineering within FMCG or food manufacturing.
*
PLC/HMI programming knowledge and a strong grasp of control systems and sensor logic.
*
Mechanical skills including fabrication and welding (MIG/TIG).
*
A proactive, solutions-led mindset with the ability to take projects from concept to commissioning.
*
Awareness of food safety, hygiene, and health & safety standards.
The Vibe:
*
60/40 split of mechanical and electrical work — or tailored to your strengths.
*
Real autonomy — take ownership of projects, not just tasks.
*
Workshop setup and tech decisions in your hands.
*
Role can evolve into a technical specialist or leadership track.
Perks:
*
£50–60k DOE
*
Mon–Fri 10:00–19:00 (weekend OT or TOIL available)
*
Private medical (AXA)
*
£250 L&D + £100 wellbeing allowance
*
28 days holiday + birthday off + option to sell back a week
*
Volunteer day + quarterly socials + product discounts
