Full job description

OAL is looking for an Automation & Systems Engineer to join the team developing our next-generation end-of-line automation platform.

This is a broad and hands-on engineering role sitting at the intersection of PLC controls, industrial automation, and systems integration. You will be equally comfortable developing PLC logic as you are troubleshooting communication interfaces between PLCs, Ignition gateways, vision systems, printers, and connected industrial devices.

Working alongside our Ignition Software Engineer and wider automation team, you will contribute to the development of a scalable end-of-line solution built around Beckhoff and Rockwell PLC architectures alongside an Ignition-based software platform.

This role offers the opportunity to work on innovative automation technology within a collaborative engineering environment where your technical input and ideas will directly influence future system development.

What you will be doing

PLC software development

Develop and maintain PLC programs using Beckhoff (TwinCAT 3) and/or Rockwell (Studio 5000) platforms within the established control architecture.

Systems integration

Integrate industrial subsystems including printers, Cognex vision systems, scanners, and other end-of-line peripherals into the wider automation platform.

Industrial communications

Define, configure, and maintain communication interfaces between PLCs, Ignition, and connected industrial devices using protocols such as OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP, and serial communications.

Commissioning and fault finding

Support commissioning activities and technical troubleshooting both remotely and on customer sites.

Cross-functional engineering collaboration

Work closely with software, controls, and project engineers to ensure strong integration between the control layer, SCADA systems, and wider automation architecture.

Hardware and system improvement

Contribute to the review, selection, and continuous improvement of automation hardware and control system components.

Engineering documentation

Support the creation and maintenance of technical documentation including functional design specifications, I/O schedules, network diagrams, and system documentation.

What we are looking for

Essential skills and experience

Proven PLC programming experience using Beckhoff (TwinCAT 3), Rockwell (Studio 5000), or both
Practical experience integrating industrial devices and subsystems
Strong understanding of industrial communication protocols including serial communications, TCP/IP, OPC-UA, and EtherNet/IP
Ability to read and work from electrical schematics and panel drawings
Methodical and practical approach to fault finding across hardware, software, and communications
Comfortable working within an established engineering architecture and collaborative team environment

Advantageous experience

Familiarity with Inductive Automation's Ignition platform
Experience integrating Cognex vision systems or industrial marking and labelling printers
Exposure to end-of-line manufacturing processes including labelling, serialisation, checkweighing, or vision inspection
HNC, HND, degree, or equivalent experience within electrical, electronic, automation, or control systems engineering

Why join OAL?

Opportunity to work on innovative automation and industrial integration projects
Be part of the development of a next-generation end-of-line platform
Collaborative engineering environment with experienced technical teams
Exposure to advanced industrial automation technologies
Opportunity to contribute ideas and influence technical development
Fast-paced and supportive SME environment
Ongoing training and professional development support
Genuine long-term career opportunities within a growing business

Salary and benefits

Competitive salary
Pension scheme
25 days holiday plus bank holidays
Ongoing training and professional development
Funded development opportunities relevant to the role
Career progression opportunities within a growing business
