Software & Commissioning Engineer

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
