Location: Leicestershire
Salary: £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.
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.
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
