At Royal Mail, we are investing in advanced automation to transform our operations and support the future of the UK’s postal network.
We are looking for a motivated individual to support the successful deployment of new automation assets across our operations. In this role, you will contribute to the development of deployment plans, test strategies, technical handover documentation, and compliance checks to ensure assets are introduced safely and effectively. Working closely with cross-functional Engineering, Technology and Operational teams, you will help coordinate the installation, integration, commissioning and testing of automation equipment, while collaborating with project teams and suppliers to ensure seamless deployment and full operational integration from planning and design through to delivery.

The role will also involve conducting site surveys and producing 2D and 3D CAD layouts for automation equipment such as conveyors, sorting systems and robotics. You will contribute to installation planning, support design reviews, and provide technical support throughout production, installation, commissioning and testing. During commissioning and early-life support, you will assist with performance monitoring, root cause analysis and issue resolution to ensure systems meet operational performance and safety standards.
