Installation Manager

Job Description The Opportunity

We’re working with a fast-growing, forward-thinking manufacturing business that is building a brand-new, fully automated production facility in Buckinghamshire / Hertfordshire.

The company specialises in on-demand manufacturing, using innovative technology and automation to replace traditional production methods.

This is a greenfield project role, giving you the opportunity to play a key part in installing, commissioning, and scaling a brand-new site from the ground up.

This is a hands‑on installation and projects‑focused role, responsible for delivering new machinery installations and supporting the site as it ramps up production.

You will be:

• Installing and commissioning new production lines and bespoke machinery
• Working with automation systems (PLC / HMI / SCADA)
• Setting up conveyors, material handling and packaging equipment
• Supporting robotics and automated workflows
• Relocating and installing existing assets/machinery from other sites into the new facility
• Managing contractors and coordinating installation activities on‑site
• Bringing equipment online from install through to full production

You’ll also be working on additional machinery such as:

• Automated printing/recording systems
• Labelling and finishing/packaging machinery

You’ll start with around 3 production units per month, scaling to 5–6, supporting the growth of the facility.

We are looking for candidates with a strong background in installations, projects, or commissioning within manufacturing or industrial environments.

Experience with the following is highly desirable:

• Installation / commissioning of machinery or production lines
• Automation systems (PLC, SCADA, HMI)
• Conveyors, robotics, or material handling systems
• Managing contractors or leading installation projects
• Mechanical or electrical engineering background

• Opportunity to work on a brand-new, automated factory build
• Exposure to cutting‑edge manufacturing technology
• A role focused on projects and installations – not maintenance
• Clear opportunity to grow with a scaling business
• Work within a modern, innovative and fast‑paced environment
