Automation Engineer (6-month contract)

Are you ready to take your career to the next level? Our client, a leading organisation in the automation industry, is seeking a talented Automation Engineer to join their dynamic team. If you have a passion for control engineering and a knack for problem-solving, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Role Purpose

As an Automation Engineer, you will provide essential software support for site automation systems. Your expertise will play a vital role in ensuring our operations run smoothly and efficiently.

What You Bring

To thrive in this role, you should have:

  • Control Engineering Experience: Proficiency in using Emerson DeltaV is a must.
  • Relevant Engineering Design Experience: Previous experience in a similar role is preferred.
  • Understanding of HSEQ Standards: Familiarity with Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality standards, especially in a Top Tier COMAH site.
  • Knowledge of Chemical Batch Unit Operations: Your experience in batch process automation will be invaluable.
  • Ability to Translate Requirements: Transforming Process Engineering requirements into effective software code is key.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
