About

Results-driven Automation Engineer with certified expertise in Siemens TIA Portal PLC Programming and SCADA (March 2026), specialising in fault finding, troubleshooting and improving controls solutions for automated material handling equipment. Extensive hands-on experience with conveyors, sortation systems, HMI systems, control cabinets, AGV robotics, servo drives and inverter-controlled systems across Royal Mail's Midlands Super Hub and Europa Worldwide Group's high-throughput automation sites. Proven ability to train and mentor Engineering Technicians on device troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.

Fully committed to shift-based operations with a reliable daily commute to Northamptonshire.

Experience

Automation Site Monitor & Acting Supervisor - Senturian Group Ltd — Europa Worldwide Group - Corby NN18 & Minworth

(2025-11)

  • Fault found and troubleshot controls issues across Siemens PLC-controlled equipment, Profinet networks, AS-i bus and I-BUS systems — diagnosing root causes and implementing corrective actions to minimise downtime.
  • Utilised SCADA monitoring platforms daily to observe real-time system status, log fault events and escalate anomalies — directly mirroring Automation Engineer CSS responsibilities.
  • Provided system capability expertise across belt conveyors, roller conveyors, carton erectors, cutters, sealers, lifts and shuttles — supporting manufacturer technicians and remote software support teams.
  • Trained and coached Engineering Technicians and operational staff on device troubleshooting, fault procedures and preventive maintenance protocols.
  • Developed detailed fault reports, incident documentation and SOPs — supporting continuous improvement in collaboration with Engineering Manager.
  • Enforced LOTO, PPE compliance, permit-to-work and IOSH/NEBOSH protocols across all maintenance activities.

Track Marshal / Acting Manager / Machine Operator - Royal Mail (GI Group Agency) - NDC/RDC Northampton & Midlands Super Hub

(2023-08)

  • Directly operated and fault-found large-scale automation systems within Royal Mail's Hub — including boom conveyors, belt conveyors, roller conveyors, parcel sortation machinery, Siemens PLC equipment, 24V rollers, shuttles and AGV robotic vehicles.
  • Utilised SCADA systems daily — monitoring real-time machine speed, parcel count, sensor outputs and control panel indicators; escalating fault reports and implementing corrective actions.
  • Operated HMI control panels to diagnose fault codes, adjust system parameters and restore equipment availability — hands-on with touchscreen HMI interfaces.
  • Carried out planned preventative maintenance on boom conveyor systems — extending/retracting booms, height adjustment, routine cleaning and corrective maintenance; completed detailed end-of-shift engineering reports.
  • Worked directly alongside AGV robotic systems, servo drive equipment and inverter-controlled conveyor lines — developing practical understanding of VSD motor control and servo drive safety.
  • Acted as Acting Manager overseeing shift operations — directing cross-functional teams of up to 40 staff, liaising with manufacturer technicians and remote software support for rapid fault resolution.

  • Continuously deployed across Europa Worldwide Group's Corby and Minworth automation sites — building deep familiarity with full site layout, automation systems and WMS connectivity.
  • Monitored automation system availability across 24/7 operations — identifying fault indicators, logging incidents and escalating to engineering teams for resolution.
  • Worked closely alongside Engineering Managers and manufacturer technicians — gaining comprehensive understanding of system capability, fault resolution and maintenance procedures.

System Support Engineer - Urjith Technologies Pvt. Ltd - Hyderabad, India

(2015-12 - 2020-08)

  • Carried out scheduled PPM and corrective maintenance on complex electrical and IT systems — logging all works against maintenance schedules.
  • Utilised real-time monitoring dashboards (SCADA-equivalent) to track live system performance, identify anomalies and raise fault alerts — reducing network downtime by 20% and improving system performance by 40%.
  • Developed SOPs with senior management — reducing incident response times by 50%.
