Software & Commissioning Engineer
Leicester £55,000 - £75,000 + Benefits Full-Time, Onsite
Are you the type of engineer who enjoys seeing a machine you've programmed come to life on the shop floor?
We're recruiting for a highly experienced Software & Commissioning Engineer to join a growing automation business that designs and builds complex bespoke machinery for leading manufacturers.
This is not a maintenance role.
This is an opportunity to be involved in the development, programming, commissioning, and optimisation of cutting-edge automated systems and robotics projects from concept through to customer handover.
What you'll be doing:
- Developing PLC software and HMIs for bespoke automation systems.
- Commissioning special purpose machinery and driving machine performance improvements.
- Programming and integrating industrial robots including 6-axis, SCARA, and Delta robots.
- Performing FATs, SATs, troubleshooting, and fault diagnosis on advanced automation systems.
- Working directly with customers during installation, commissioning, and operator training.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We'd love to speak with engineers who have:
- Strong PLC programming experience (Omron, Siemens, or Allen-Bradley).
- A background in special purpose machinery, robotics, or automated manufacturing equipment.
- Commissioning experience in a customer-facing environment.
- The ability to fault-find electrical, controls, and safety systems.
- Experience integrating industrial robots into production environments.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why this role stands out:
- Technically challenging projects.
- Significant robotics and automation exposure.
- Work on complete machine build projects, not just one stage of the process.
- Join a business with a strong order book and continued growth plans.
- £55,000 - £75,000 salary depending on experience.
If you're an experienced automation engineer who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges and wants to play a key role in bringing bespoke machinery to life, I'd be keen to speak with you.
