Industrial Automation in Southampton

Southampton and the Solent region combine a world-class port with significant automotive and petrochemical operations. The Fawley refinery complex, one of the UK's largest, requires extensive process control systems, while the marine engineering cluster around the port and the automotive operations along the M27 corridor all depend on PLC-qualified engineers. The University of Southampton's engineering faculty and the Solent LEP's focus on advanced manufacturing further support local demand for automation skills.
