Ready to lead a technical team where your fault-finding skills are as valued as your ability to bring people on?

Competitive Salary | Permanent | Hinckley, Leicestershire

Core hours: Monday to Friday, 8am–4pm

Defined progression pathway to Engineering Manager

24/7 escalation rota (rolling basis)

Ongoing specialist training and coaching support

Motiontech designs, builds, and maintains automated distribution centres for major UK retailers. Specialising in conveyors, sorters, cranes, and hanging garment systems, their engineers keep some of the UK's largest supply chains running around the clock. It's technical, fast-moving work, and the team culture reflects that.

This is a newly created role, built to strengthen the on-site automation team in Hinckley. You'll act as the technical lead for a team of 12 engineers, working alongside the Engineering Manager and the customer's operational team. Success here means fewer breakdowns, a more capable team, and an automation system that consistently delivers.

You will:

Lead and coach 12 engineers, building technical confidence across the team

Diagnose complex faults and resolve issues others can't, escalating where needed

Develop "how-to" guides and easy-works documentation from real solutions

Manage stores and spares, building supplier relationships and protecting parts availability

Ensure Planned Preventative Maintenance is completed on time via the CMMS

Identify upgrade and lifecycle projects to improve throughput and reduce obsolescence

Cover the Engineering Manager during absences and support the 24/7 escalation rota

What you'll bring

Essential:

Proven experience in automation engineering (conveyors, sorters, cranes, or similar)

ONC/HNC in engineering (electrical bias preferred) or time-served apprenticeship equivalent

Strong fault diagnosis and problem-solving capability at an advanced level

Experience leading or supervising a technical team

Useful, not essential:

Exposure to hanging garment systems

Experience with a Computerised Maintenance System (CMMS)

Background in customer-facing or contract maintenance environments

Benefits & culture

Financial: Competitive Salary
Flexibility: Core hours 8am–4pm, Monday to Friday
Development: Clear pathway from Supervisor to Engineering Manager and specialist training support.
Stability: Long-term site contract with a trusted partner to major UK retailers

Working arrangements

Location: Hinckley, Leicestershire | On-site Contract: Permanent | Full-time | 8am–4pm core hours On-call: Part of a rolling 24/7 escalation rota
