Are you a hands-on engineer with a passion for robotics, automation, and seeing your work come to life on the factory floor? We're looking for a practical, skilled Installation & Workshop Engineer to join a leading team at the forefront of developing cutting-edge automated machinery for the food and fresh produce industry.

Based out of Peterborough, you'll split your time between our HQ workshop and customer sites across the UK with opportunities to make a real impact in delivering complex automation systems that transform how food is processed and packaged.

What You'll Be Doing

Assembling and preparing automation systems in our well-equipped workshop
Electrical and mechanical installation on customer sites (some overnight stays required)
Testing, commissioning, and fault-finding on robotic and PLC-based systems
Supporting the project delivery team across the full installation lifecycle

What We're Looking For

Solid experience installing or supporting automated production equipment
Strong electrical and mechanical engineering skills
Comfortable with PLC/control systems (e.g. Siemens, RS Logix)
Previous exposure to food production environments is a big plus
Adaptable, deadline-driven, and confident working in varied settings

Key Requirements

NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering
ECS card or demonstrable electrical competency
Full UK driving licence
Certifications like IPAF, PASMA, forklift or CompEx are advantageous

Who You Are

Positive, proactive, and cool under pressure
Communicates clearly and respectfully, whether with colleagues or clients
Takes pride in customer satisfaction and on-time delivery
A true team player who supports others and values collaboration

Location

You'll be based out of our Peterborough facility, so you'll need to live within a reasonable commuting distance. Site work is mainly UK-wide, with occasional short-term stays away from home.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with real-world experience in automation, packaging lines, or production machinery who thrives on variety and wants to work with advanced robotics that are reshaping the food industry.

Ready to build the future of food automation with us? Let's talk.
