I'm recruiting on behalf of a major industrial manufacturer who are looking to appoint a skilled Automation Engineer to join their engineering team. This is a critical role within a high-volume, fast-paced pharmaceutical production environment, ideal for an engineer who thrives under pressure and takes pride in keeping manufacturing operations running efficiently.
