WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

At Ernest Fleming Machinery & Equipment, we’ve been a trusted partner to the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, bakery, confectionery, canning, dairy, and allied process industries for over 75 years. We design and supply new and used machinery that keeps production moving — and we’re looking for an Automation Engineer/Technologist to help us take it further.
In this role, you’ll be part of a collaborative engineering team, driving innovation, customization, and continuous improvement across a wide range of process and packaging equipment. Your work will directly impact how our customers operate — making their production safer, smarter, and more efficient.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING (YOUR IMPACT):

• Turning engineering concepts into practical solutions by designing and implementing improvements for processing and packaging machines.
• Customizing equipment with new pneumatic, electrical, and control systems to meet unique customer applications.
• Enhancing performance and safety by modifying PLC & HMI programs and integrating machines into fully automated lines.
• Supporting builds, setups, and factory acceptance testing — with detailed data recording and documentation.
• Troubleshooting technical challenges and providing hands-on client support.
• Commissioning machinery and training customers to confidently use their equipment.
• Collaborating with clients to identify the most effective solutions, often through rigorous operational trials.
