Electromechanical Fitter​/Installer

Overview

Are you looking for a new challenge? Our client provides 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 are looking to appoint an additional electromechanical fitter/installer who will bring automation aspirations to life across a variety of industry sectors (predominantly in food and beverage and plastic container handling) on 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. 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 ready to roll up your sleeves to get things done.
