London (Liverpool Street) | Hybrid (3 days onsite) | £60,000–£70,000 + benefits
A globally recognised FTSE-listed technology group is driving an ambitious digital transformation across its portfolio of advanced engineering and manufacturing businesses.
Their products play a critical role in improving safety, environmental sustainability, and healthcare outcomes worldwide.
As part of a central digital function, this role offers a unique opportunity to operate as an internal consultant, working across multiple operating companies to design and deliver cutting-edge Industry 4.0 solutions.
This is not a traditional plant-based role. You’ll be shaping how modern manufacturing environments evolve, bringing together data, AI, robotics, and automation to drive measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, and uptime.
What you’ll be doing
- Leading pilots and projects in AI-assisted visual inspection, predictive maintenance, robotics, and automation.
- Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, and performance at cell, line, or departmental level.
- Designing and delivering data-driven solutions across MES, SCADA, IIoT, and digital manufacturing technologies.
- Working alongside operational and engineering teams to translate real-world problems into actionable technical solutions.
- Creating scalable frameworks and reference architectures for repeatable adoption across multiple sites.
- Supporting the implementation and adoption of modern manufacturing technologies across global operating companies.
What they’re looking for
- 4–6 years’ experience in digital manufacturing, automation, or Industry 4.0 environments.
- Exposure to PLCs, MES, SCADA, IIoT, robotics, AI, or computer vision in a manufacturing context.
- Strong understanding of production processes, quality control, and visual inspection.
- Ability to bridge engineering and digital/technical solutions.
- Comfortable working across multiple sites and stakeholders.
- Proactive, solutions-focused mindset with hands‑on problem solving and innovation.
Nice to have
- Experience implementing predictive maintenance or monitoring legacy equipment.
- Familiarity with data analytics dashboards and visualization tools.
Why this role stands out
- Operate across a portfolio of highly innovative engineering businesses rather than a single site.
- Hands‑on application of emerging tech to solve real operational challenges.
- Real ownership: lead pilots, shape solutions, and influence global manufacturing strategy.
- Exposure to a wide range of technologies and manufacturing environments.
- Strong long‑term career trajectory into senior digital or operational leadership roles.
- Stability of a global FTSE-listed group, combined with the agility of smaller businesses.
