RPA/Automation Engineer (Scripting & Workflow Focus)

We are looking for a practical automation engineer with strong scripting and programming skills. This role is not suitable for full-stack RPA engineers or robotics specialists. If your background is primarily in UiPath, Blue Prism, robotics, or large-enterprise RPA deployments, this position will not be the right fit. Instead, we want someone who thrives on lightweight scripting, hands-on problem solving, and building efficient automations without reliance on heavyweight frameworks.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and support automation workflows using scripting and selected automation tools to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency
• Collaborate with stakeholders to analyse existing processes, identify automation opportunities, and define requirements
• Build and implement automation solutions that integrate smoothly with existing systems (without large-scale RPA platforms)
• Conduct thorough testing to ensure accuracy, reliability, and adherence to specifications
• Document automation processes clearly, including workflows, configurations, and procedures, to support knowledge sharing and incident management
• Contribute to ad hoc projects that drive continuous improvement of business operations and automation platforms
• Follow change management processes, ensuring testing and risk assessment before release

Qualifications, Knowledge and Experience

Essential:

• GCSE Maths and English or equivalent
• Appropriate Microsoft certifications
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail
• Windows client and server scripting knowledge with demonstrable experience
• PowerShell scripting experience across a large estate
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Azure
• Practical, operational approach with willingness to engage in varied business activities
• Strong analytical skills to assess processes and identify automation opportunities
• Excellent documentation skills
• Confidence in liaising with stakeholders across the business
• Strong attention to detail and ability to prioritise workload to meet deadlines
• Continuous improvement mindset
• Excellent research and analytical skills
• Strong verbal and written communication skills

Desirable:

• Experience with the Rewst RPA development platform
• Prior experience in IT managed services or similar industry
• Experience in administering and developing an RMM platform

Please note: This role is not intended for candidates with robotics, large-enterprise RPA engineering, or extensive UiPath/Blue Prism experience. We are specifically seeking scripting-focused professionals who can deliver lightweight, effective automation in a dynamic environment.
