Automation Engineer - Plymouth
Excellent Salary + Bonus + Benefits
Rare opportunity to put your own stamp.
Excellent investment into improving the site & equipment.
Excellent opportunity to grow your role within the site & group.
A global manufacturing business and market leader within its sector is looking to appoint an Automation Engineer to support the continued development of its Plymouth operation.
With around 150 employees across two adjacent manufacturing facilities, including a brand-new state-of-the-art site, the business is investing heavily in the future of advanced manufacturing and automation.
This is a brand-new role created due to growth and investment and offers a rare opportunity for someone to genuinely put their own stamp on a manufacturing operation.
There are still a number of labour-intensive processes across the facility, creating huge scope for automation, robotics and process improvement. The successful candidate will play a key role in developing and delivering the site's automation strategy, helping transform the operation into a more advanced and highly automated manufacturing environment.
Importantly, this is not a role maintaining existing systems or inheriting legacy projects. This is an opportunity to build something new from the ground up and become a key figure within the wider group's manufacturing strategy.

Identifying opportunities to automate existing manufacturing processes
Supporting the introduction of robotics, automated machinery and smart manufacturing technologies
Leading automation and continuous improvement projects across the site
Working closely with production and engineering teams to improve efficiency, quality and productivity

About You

Strong understanding of automated manufacturing processes and continuous improvement
Experience delivering engineering or capital projects within manufacturing
Hands-on approach with strong problem-solving ability
Someone motivated by the opportunity to create and develop new automation capability
Why Apply?
Opportunities like this are genuinely rare.
This is a chance to join a growing international manufacturer in a highly visible role where you can influence long-term automation strategy, introduce new technologies and make a lasting impact on the future direction of the site
