About Profile

An experienced Multi-Skilled Engineer with strong hands-on expertise maintaining, servicing, and commissioning automated and PLC-driven production machinery.

Mechanically biased but comfortable working across both mechanical and electrical aspects of industrial equipment, this engineer is particularly strong in diagnostics, fault finding, and reliability improvements within automated manufacturing environments.

Technical Experience

Maintenance and servicing of automated production machinery
PLC fault finding and programme modification
Experience with Allen Bradley and Omron PLC platforms
Machinery repairs, upgrades, and refurbishments
Root cause fault diagnosis and downtime reduction
Preventative and reactive maintenance
Supporting machinery installation and commissioning

Industry & Equipment Background

Much of this engineer’s career has involved supporting bespoke automated machinery for end users, including working within high-care and clean-room environments.

Although previous experience has been outside of the food and FMCG sector, the types of automated equipment, fault-finding responsibilities, and maintenance practices are highly transferable to food, FMCG, and other automated manufacturing environments.

Career Goals

After several years in roles requiring extensive international travel, this engineer is now looking to transition into a permanent site-based position where their technical expertise can support machine reliability, maintenance improvements, and engineering team capability.

Preferences

Open to day shift or rotating shift patterns
Ideally prefers to avoid permanent night shifts
