In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

About the role
You’ll be responsible for supporting and improving our automation systems, leading site projects and ensuring safe, efficient operations. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work closely with colleagues across Engineering, Manufacturing and Technical to deliver automation solutions that make a real difference.

KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary
25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more
KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more

What will you be doing?

Lead automation and PLC support across the Ashby site, building fault-finding capability across all shifts
Tackle automation challenges with confidence, including obsolescence upgrades and CAPEX project delivery
Collaborate with site teams, suppliers and contractors to deliver automation projects from concept to completion
Make a real impact on automation standards, training and coaching – ensuring safe systems and consistent processes
Learn and grow through cross-functional teamwork, supporting both site-driven and centrally driven engineering projects
Support 24/7 emergency cover and ensure automation systems are available and safeguarded at all times
Drive continuous improvement through Intersnack Work Systems and Initiative Management principles
Ensure compliance with Health and Safety, Environment and Hygiene policies, with a focus on safe working practices
Manage automation documentation, contracts and warranties, ensuring systems are fit for purpose and aligned with KP Snacks standards

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

Qualifications & Background:

HNC or above in an engineering discipline, or time-served apprenticeship with strong practical experience
A background in automation engineering
A solid foundation in electrical engineering and control systems

Technical Experience:

Siemens (essential) and TIA Portal (desirable but not essential)
Other PLC systems such as GX Works, CX Programmer, Rockwell Automation
MES platforms and data collection systems

Project & CI Experience:

Providing hands-on coaching and development to wider teams in automation engineering (essential)
Demonstrated experience in project engineering and management
Involvement in maintenance and continuous improvement programmes
Familiarity with quality management systems and legislative/food safety compliance
Comfortable with budgeting, CapEx processes, and procurement

Our purpose
At KP Snacks, we're passionate about creating happy snacking moments through our great tasting snacks and iconic brands. Every day, millions of people enjoy our products, including Hula Hoops, McCoy's, KP Nuts, Tyrrells, Skips, POM-BEAR and Butterkist, making us one of the UK's leading snack manufacturers.

For decades, we've been delighting consumers by combining well-loved favourites with exciting innovations that reflect changing tastes and expectations. We're equally passionate about our people and committed to creating a workplace where everyone can grow, develop and make a real impact.
