Junior Automation / AI Specialist
Junior Automation / AI SpecialistSheffield | Manufacturing | Career-Defining Opportunity £28,000 - £35000
Are you curious about AI and automation?
Do you enjoy figuring out smarter ways to do things?
We’re working with a growing manufacturing business in Sheffield that’s investing in technology to modernise how it operates and they’re looking for a bright, motivated Junior Automation / AI Specialist to join the journey.
This is a hands-on role where your ideas will directly improve how the business runs.
What You’ll Be Working On:
You’ll help analyse and improve real operational workflows, such as:
- How orders move from Sales Production Finance
- Reducing manual data entry and spreadsheet reliance
- Automating repetitive admin tasks
- Improving reporting and visibility across departments
- Connecting systems so they “talk” to each other properly
You’ll work closely with stakeholders across Sales, Operations and Finance to spot inefficiencies and design smarter, streamlined solutions.
What We’re Looking For:
- A genuine interest in AI, automation and improving processes
- Exposure to tools such as Python, SQL, Power Automate or similar
- Understanding of how data flows through systems
- Logical, analytical mindset
- Someone proactive, curious and keen to learn
- Ability to explain technical ideas in a clear, practical way
This role would suit:
- A recent graduate in Computer Science, Data, Software Engineering or similar
- Or someone early in their career who has built dashboards, scripts or automations and wants real-world impact
If you want to apply AI and automation in a way that genuinely improves how a business operates rather than just building theory projects this is the role for you.
