Welcome to Hovis. We are the proud guardians of over 130 years of baking experience that make up our iconic and much-loved brand. We produce bread and bakery products created with Hovis goodness at the heart of each. We deliver around 1.3million loaves, every day of the week throughout the UK and Ireland, where we also make Mothers Pride and Ormo products.
We are 2,800 people working within 8 bakeries, 1 flour mill, and 2 regional distribution centres across the UK.

Diagnosing and resolving complex automation and controls faults
Supporting production during major breakdowns and technical issues
Delivering automation improvement and capital projects
Optimising existing control systems to improve reliability and efficiency

Supporting the introduction of new equipment and automation technologies
What We're Looking For
Experience as a Controls or Automation Engineer within manufacturing
Strong PLC programming and fault-finding skills
Experience with Siemens and/or Allen Bradley PLCs
Knowledge of industrial control systems, drives, HMIs and instrumentation
Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities
An opportunity to make a real impact on site performance
