Are you a graduate automation engineer looking to kick start your career in automation? Are you sick of the "not enough experience" line for a job that says no experience needed?

We're working with a manufacturing company that's right in the middle of a huge automation project and they need a person like you to help drive it forward.

The main requirements for this job are a HND in automation engineering, experience using CAD systems and either practical experience or knowledge of PLC programming.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing and implementing new automated systems to improve the factory floor.
• Getting stuck in with hands‑on PLC programming and scripting.
• Using CAD systems to create your designs and bring your ideas to life.

What we need from you (the essentials):

• Experience using CAD systems and either practical experience or knowledge of PLC programming.
• A HND in automation engineering or related subject.
• You must be based within a commutable daily distance of Coventry.
• Full and unrestricted right to work in the UK is essential as sponsorship is unfortunately not available for this role.

What's in it for you (the good stuff):

• A great salary of 30k - 35k, depending on your experience.
• A proper Monday to Friday day shift, so you can enjoy your weekends!
• A genuine career path and the chance to join a really supportive team.
