About this role

Automation Engineer

  • Technical Leadership
  • Greenfield Project
  • Long-Term Potential
  • State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Site

This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in a high-impact, greenfield pharmaceutical manufacturing project with a global pharmaceutical organisation.

At the moment they are building a new fully integrated site, the site represents a major investment in advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing.

As an DeltaV Automation Engineer, you’ll strengthen and lead the existing automation team, helping shape how equipment and control systems communicate, integrate and perform across the wider facility.

This is not a documentation-led position. It’s an opportunity for a technically hands-on engineer to drive integration, solve complex engineering challenges and deliver solutions that have a direct impact on manufacturing readiness.

Why You’ll Love This Job

  • Technical Leadership: Take ownership of automation integration and influence key engineering decisions
  • Greenfield Impact: Help shape a state-of-the-art, fully integrated pharmaceutical manufacturing site from the ground up.
  • Career Growth: Lead complex technical challenges within a high-performing team at a global pharmaceutical organisation.

What You’ll Do

  • Drive the integration of DeltaV with equipment, control systems and manufacturing technologies.
  • Troubleshoot complex automation challenges and deliver practical engineering solutions.
  • Support system testing, commissioning and qualification to ensure manufacturing readiness.

What You Bring

  • Hands-on experience with DeltaV, ABB 800xA or comparable DCS platforms.
  • Vendor-side, OEM or machine-builder experience in programming, installation and commissioning.
  • Experience in regulated pharmaceutical or life sciences environments.
