Siemens Systems Engineer

Job Description:

Siemens Systems Engineer – Siemens TIA Portal – Automated Warehousing – Warwickshire / Hybrid – £60-70k

Samuel Frank is recruiting for a Siemens Systems Engineer to join a growing automation business delivering turnkey automated warehouse systems across the UK.

You’ll split your time between development and testing in the innovation centre and delivering projects on-site across the Home Counties and Midlands, with commissioning phases typically lasting between 2–6 months.

Key aspects of the Siemens Systems Engineer role include:

• Working with Siemens PLCs using TIA Portal, with a strong focus on Structured Text
• Designing and developing control systems for automated warehouse and pallet handling solutions
• Involvement in full turnkey projects from concept and design through to commissioning
• Carrying out testing and development work in the Nuneaton-based innovation centre
• Supporting project delivery on-site, following systems through installation and commissioning
• Exposure to other PLC platforms such as Beckhoff and Allen Bradley
• Collaborating with a small UK team alongside international engineering groups
• Hybrid working available when not on-site – could be as little as 1-2 days per fortnight in the office

This role will suit a Siemens Systems Engineer with a hybrid background – someone who understands systems properly because they’ve been hands-on earlier in their career, whether that’s electrical, mechanical or mechatronics.

Key requirements of the Siemens Systems Engineer role include:

• Strong Siemens TIA Portal experience is essential
• Proven use of Structured Text (ST)
• Background in automated warehousing, conveyors, shuttles or material handling systems would be ideal
• Ability to interrogate, modify, tweak and enhance PLC code as well as develop from scratch
• Comfortable spending extended periods on-site during project delivery
• Experience with Beckhoff or Allen Bradley would be advantageous
• Likely to have around 10+ years’ relevant industry experience

The successful Siemens Systems Engineer will be joining at an early stage of UK growth, with multiple projects already secured with more planned. You’ll work closely with senior leadership and play a key role in shaping how projects are delivered in the UK.
