Bring complex automation projects to life
Are you an experienced Controls and Robotics Engineer who can programme PLC and robotic systems from scratch?
We are recruiting on behalf of a specialist automation business that designs, manufactures and installs bespoke machinery for customers across the UK and internationally. Operating from a modern 40,000 sq. ft. facility in North Gloucestershire, the company delivers advanced control, robotics, conveyor and vision-inspection systems across the food, beverage, packaging and rigid-plastics sectors.
This is a varied, technically challenging position where you will take automation projects from initial concept through programming, integration, commissioning and final handover.
Most solutions are completely bespoke, so you will need to be a capable engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, working directly with customers and seeing machinery operate successfully in a live production environment.
The role
Reporting to the Managing Director, you will work closely with mechanical, electrical and controls engineers to deliver standalone systems and complete turnkey automation projects.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
- Designing and programming PLC, HMI, touchscreen, industrial network and SCADA systems from scratch.
- Programming and integrating industrial robotic systems.
- Developing control architectures and functional solutions alongside mechanical and electrical design teams.
- Taking technical ownership of selected projects from concept and design through build, commissioning and handover.
- Installing, commissioning and testing machinery at customer sites.
- Diagnosing faults and improving existing control and robotic systems.
- Delivering operator and maintenance training to customers.
- Managing project priorities, technical risks and customer communication.
- Supporting and mentoring other engineers in controls and robotics.
- Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time and to a consistently high standard.
What You Will Need
To be considered, you should have proven industrial experience covering both controls engineering and robotic automation.
Essential Experience Includes
- PLC programming using Allen-Bradley and/or Siemens platforms.
- HMI, touchscreen, industrial network and SCADA programming.
- Programming and integrating industrial robots.
- Experience with FANUC, although knowledge of Nachi, Kawasaki or ABB systems will also be considered.
- Industrial communication networks, including EtherNet/IP and PROFINET.
- Automated manufacturing machinery and production processes.
- On-site installation, commissioning, servicing and fault-finding.
- Working directly with customers, suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- The ability to programme systems from scratch rather than only modifying existing code.
