Promote and maintain Müller’s automation standards, ensuring compliance and providing feedback for continuous improvement.
Ensure automation architectures align with OT standards.
Support central engineering and site teams in identifying obsolescence risks and developing Capex submissions.
Deliver on-the-job training and technical coaching to site Automation Support Engineers (ASEs).
Provide specialist support for site Continuous Improvement (CI) activities and reactive support for automation/MIS issues.

Your Müller Responsibilities

Design systems with a focus on Lowest Total Cost of Ownership and the unique challenges of FMCG environments.
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and understand how your work impacts business performance.

Be part of a company that invests in cutting-edge automation and engineering solutions to stay ahead in the FMCG sector.
We support your development with tailored training, mentoring, and opportunities to progress within a global organisation.
Your expertise will directly influence the efficiency and sustainability of our operations, helping us deliver high-quality products to millions.
Work in an environment that values diversity, encourages ideas, and fosters a sense of belonging.
Enjoy a competitive salary, 10% annual bonus, pension scheme, and a range of employee perks designed to support your wellbeing and work-life balance.
