Résumé du poste

Billy Associates LTD is seeking a Controls & Robotics Engineer to design, program and commission bespoke automation systems across packaging environments. You will work hands-on with PLCs, SCADA and robots, taking projects from concept to handover.

The role involves extensive travel to customer sites, including international travel to Europe, USA and Canada, and requires a full UK driving licence and right to work in the UK. Experience with FANUC robots is desirable.

Qualifications

• Proven experience within industrial controls, automation and robotics.
• Strong PLC programming experience with Siemens and/or Allen-Bradley/Rockwell.
• Experience programming HMI/touchscreens and SCADA systems.
• Hands-on experience programming and integrating industrial robots — FANUC particularly desirable, although ABB, Kawasaki or Nachi experience is also relevant.

• Experience working with automated machinery within a manufacturing environment.
• Strong hands-on experience with installation, commissioning, servicing and fault-finding.
• Experience working directly with customers, suppliers and wider engineering teams.
• Ability to work independently, troubleshoot problems methodically and take ownership of projects.
• A practical, flexible and hands-on approach to engineering.
• Comfortable travelling regularly to customer sites, including international travel to Europe, USA and Canada.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Must already have the legal right to work in the UK — no sponsorship available.

Responsabilités

• Design and programme PLC, HMI, SCADA and industrial network systems from scratch.
• Design, programme and integrate industrial robotic systems into automated machinery.
• Develop control architectures and automation solutions alongside mechanical and electrical engineering teams.
• Take ownership of automation projects from concept and design through to build, commissioning and handover.
• Carry out installation, commissioning, testing and fault-finding at customer sites.
• Service, troubleshoot and improve existing control and robotic systems.
• Work directly with customers, suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Provide customer training and technical support.
• Manage project activities, priorities and technical risks.
• Support and mentor other controls and automation engineers.
• Ensure projects are delivered safely, effectively and to a high technical standard.
