Build the machine. Bring it to life. Make it run flawlessy.
We’re working exclusively with a specialist builder of advanced automation equipment used in high-precision manufacturing environments. This is not a maintenance role and it is not a “follow the manual” field service position.
The equipment arrives at customer sites partially assembled and not fully commissioned. Your job is to take ownership of the machine, complete the mechanical and electrical build, identify what is missing or out of tolerance, troubleshoot the inevitable startup issues, and drive the system through commissioning until it is running smoothly in production.
If you’ve worked on laser welding systems, EV battery equipment, pharmaceutical automation, medical device machinery, semiconductor equipment, or other ultra-precision automated systems, this is the kind of challenge you’ll recognise immediately.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Build and install high-precision automation equipment at customer facilities.
- Complete mechanical assembly, alignment, wiring, pneumatics, and system integration.
- Diagnose incomplete or incorrect machine conditions and resolve them independently
- Perform startup, I/O checkout, functional testing, and production ramp-up
- .Fine-tune equipment for repeatability, accuracy, and long-term reliablity.
- Work closely with controls engineers and project managers during commissioning.
We need someone who is:
- Highly energetic and comfortable in fast-moving environments.
- A self-starter who doesn’t wait for instructions.
- Mechanically strong and electrically competent.
- Excellent at troubleshooting under pressure.
- Able to make sound decisions independently in thefield.
- Comfortable talking directly with engineers, maintenance teams, and production leadership.
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on experience building, installing, commissioning, or servicing industrial automation equipment.
- Strong mechanical assembly and troubleshooting capability.
- Ability to read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics.
- Experience with pneumatic systems, sensors, actuators, and industrial wiring.
