You will have visibility, autonomy, and the support needed to build robust, future-ready automation infrastructure.
This role is ideal if you are:
Passionate about PLC programming and industrial automation.
Confident diagnosing and resolving complex system issues.
Motivated by upgrading legacy equipment into modern, efficient systems.
Interested in data integration and smart manufacturing.
Looking for a role where you can genuinely influence how systems are designed and implemented.
What Will You Be Doing?
PLC Programming & Control Systems
Programming and commissioning Siemens S7 PLCs and HMIs.
Developing structured, reliable control logic to enhance production efficiency.
Troubleshooting and optimising existing automation systems.
Machinery Retrofit & System Modernisation
Retrofitting legacy machinery with new PLC and automation systems.
Replacing obsolete components with efficient, compliant solutions.
Supporting the upgrade of control panels and electrical architecture where required
Automation Integration
Integrating sensors, robotics (e.g., Inovance), and vision systems into production lines.
Interfacing automation systems with MES and IoT platforms (e.g., NodeRED).
Supporting data collection, system monitoring, and digitalisation initiatives.
Diagnostics & Compliance
Providing advanced diagnostics and fault-finding support.
Ensuring automation systems align with safety systems and international standards.
Supporting machine safety reviews and compliance processes.
