Automation Engineer

Salary: Up to £60,000

I am recruiting on behalf of a major industrial manufacturer who are looking to appoint a skilled Automation Engineer to join their engineering team. This is a critical role within a high-volume, fast-paced pharmaceutical production environment, ideal for an engineer who thrives under pressure and takes pride in keeping manufacturing operations running efficiently.

The Automation Engineer will be responsible for carrying out both planned preventative maintenance and reactive breakdown repairs on a wide range of automated and industrial machinery. You will play a key part in minimising downtime, improving equipment reliability, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives across the site.

You will be confident reading electrical diagrams, diagnosing faults quickly, and working safely to high engineering standards.

• Level 3 engineering qualification or equivalent
• Mechanical engineering background
• Industrial or factory-based experience
• Strong fault-finding and breakdown diagnostic skills
