A cutting-edge automotive manufacturer in Telford is seeking an innovative IoT Developer to support the transformation of traditional production into a fully connected smart factory. Specialising in high-pressure die-casting, this company produces medium to large aluminium components for major vehicle manufacturers worldwide and is rapidly advancing its digital infrastructure to achieve operational excellence.

This is a unique opportunity to work on Industry 4.0 initiatives in a high-tech environment where automation, data, and intelligent systems come together.

About the Role

You’ll join a forward-thinking engineering team focused on designing and implementing advanced control systems, edge computing solutions, and machine connectivity. Your core mission: turn IoT and digitalisation strategies into reality on the shop floor.

As an IoT Developer, you will be hands-on with real-time data acquisition, device integration, and network communications—while collaborating closely with engineers, IT teams, and operators to optimise performance and uptime.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain IIoT infrastructure for production equipment

Configure connectivity using protocols like MQTT, OPC UA/DA, and WebSocket

Work with edge devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi, industrial gateways) and cloud platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT)

Integrate factory sensors (temperature, pressure, vibration) with data handling systems

Collaborate across departments to support predictive maintenance and automation goals

Apply cybersecurity best practices in IoT design and implementation

Use programming languages including Python, JavaScript (Node.js), C/C++, and C#

Interface with PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial robots (ABB, Fanuc, Kuka)

Support ongoing development of smart manufacturing tools and dashboards

Ideal Background

Essential:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Controls Engineering, or similar

Solid understanding of TCP/IP, networking protocols, and cloud/edge architecture

Strong programming skills (Python, JavaScript, C#, etc.)

Knowledge of SQL databases and data-driven systems

Hands-on experience with real-time connectivity and IIoT frameworks

Desirable:

Experience with Siemens PLCs and industrial robot programming

Familiarity with SCADA, MQTT protocol, and predictive maintenance systems

Understanding of manufacturing workflows and quality assurance in fast-paced environments

Certifications in ITIL, PRINCE2, or relevant project management methods

What You’ll Bring

A problem-solving mindset and curiosity for emerging technologies

Strong communication and stakeholder collaboration skills

Flexibility to manage multiple projects across production and engineering teams

Ability to thrive in a high-tech, dynamic factory environment

A hands-on approach with a drive for continuous improvement

What We Offer

Be part of a global supply chain revolutionising smart manufacturing

Lead innovation projects that directly impact production and sustainability

Career development opportunities in a growing, technology-led organisation

Full training, PPE, and a safety-first working environment

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
Occasional travel and off-site training may be required.

Where to Advertise Data Engineering Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data engineering jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach Spark, dbt, Snowflake and platform engineering talent. Data engineers occupy a distinct discipline that sits between software engineering, data science and cloud infrastructure — and the strongest candidates identify firmly with the data engineering community rather than with adjacent roles. General job boards consistently conflate data engineering with data analysis, data science and BI development, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist pipeline and platform roles. This guide, published by DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data engineering roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data engineering hiring over the next three years — Spark, dbt, lakehouse and AI. Data engineering has become one of the most strategically important disciplines in the entire technology sector — and one of the most reliably in-demand. Every organisation that wants to use data to make decisions, train AI models, personalise products, manage risk, or understand its customers depends on data engineers to build the infrastructure that makes any of that possible. Without well-designed, reliable data pipelines, the most sophisticated machine learning model is worthless and the most ambitious analytics strategy is undeliverable. That foundational importance has made data engineering hiring remarkably resilient through the technology market corrections of the past few years. Where headcount reductions fell heavily on some engineering disciplines, demand for data engineers held firm — because the work of building and maintaining data infrastructure cannot be deferred in the way that some product development can. The data keeps coming. The pipelines need to work. But the data engineering jobs market of 2026 is not simply a stable version of what it was three years ago. The discipline has undergone a series of architectural shifts — from batch to streaming, from on-premise data warehouses to cloud-native lakehouses, from hand-rolled pipelines to declarative transformation frameworks, and most recently toward AI-augmented data engineering workflows that are beginning to reshape what the role looks like in practice. The employers hiring data engineers today are asking for a meaningfully different skill set than those hiring three years ago. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which architectural patterns are becoming standard, which technologies are defining the modern data stack, and how the definition of a data engineering career is evolving toward a richer intersection of infrastructure, analytics, and AI enablement. This article breaks down what the UK data engineering jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
