Commissioning equipment including PLCs, HMIs, drives and automation systems
Working alongside OEMs and system integrators during machinery installs
Supporting automation and controls improvement projects across production lines
Maintaining electrical schematics, PLC backups and system documentation

This role offers a varied mix of electrical installation work, automation support and project delivery within a live manufacturing environment.

Strong electrical engineering background within manufacturing or production environments
Experience working on PLC controlled machinery
PLC fault finding experience (Siemens systems ideal)
