Everyone is welcome at M&S. No exceptions. It’s your background, abilities and differences that make you, uniquely you. And when you’re part of M&S, that individuality has the potential to make waves.
This section tells you all you need to know about the position and its responsibilities, outlining everything we hope to see in a successful candidate.
To stay close to our customers and colleagues, our support teams are in the office for at least three days a week as we believe that skills are developed through collaboration, and that spending time together makes us more creative and connected.
Working at the heart of major automation programmes, the successful candidate will help de-risk significant investments, support smooth operational ramp-up and make sure every solution delivers for colleagues, customers and the business. It is a chance to make a real impact on some of the most advanced engineering and automation projects in M&S.
The ideal candidate will bring experience of delivering testing and commissioning programmes for automated solutions within logistics, retail, manufacturing or distribution environments. With strong technical knowledge of automation systems, WCS, WMS and material handling equipment, they will be confident validating system performance, solving problems and working collaboratively with stakeholders to support successful delivery across the UK and internationally.
NB The role will be based from one of our Logistics hubs (Bradford, Castle Donington or Welham Green) but most of the time will be spent working in partnership with our 3PL’s on sites across the country so the successful candidate must be prepared to travel.
