Our clientprovides end-to-end solutions for bespoke control and factory automation systems, covering the design, build, and installation of manufacturing process equipment, packaging machinery, conveyor systems, robotics, and vision inspection technologies.
They're looking to appoint an additional electromechanical fitter/installer. In this role, you will be bringing our customers automation aspirations to life, working across a variety of industry sectors (predominantly in food and beverage and plastic container handling) and working on some truly ground-breaking projects.
You will be required to work both in-house reporting to the workshop manager and on customers sites, reporting to the services director, where you will be responsible for the mechanical assembly of automation machinery and systems. Due to the unique nature of our projects, youll be comfortable with the basics of control systems, happy to run wires if needed and just generally roll your sleeves up to do whats needed to make it happen!
A lot of what we do is typically bespoke to our customers and to date theres not been an automation challenge weve not been able to support or that we have walked away from. Our diverse project portfolio means theres no standard production lines or builds, which is why we only employ solutioners.
