Entry Level Automation Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level automation job?
Start by building hands-on experience through personal projects, internships, or coursework that demonstrates you can write scripts, configure tools, or test automated workflows. Employers at the entry level look for familiarity with at least one automation platform or scripting language, a portfolio showing real output, and a willingness to learn on the job. Certifications in tools like Selenium, UiPath, or Python strengthen an application considerably.
Which companies hire entry level automations?
Companies hiring entry level automations right now include Amazon, CBRE, and Schneider Electric, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level covers large enterprises building out quality assurance teams, manufacturers modernizing production lines, and tech firms scaling their test automation pipelines.
Are there remote entry level automation jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles remain common at this stage. About 20% of entry level automation openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, making it realistic to find flexible arrangements even without years of experience. Candidates who can demonstrate proficiency through a portfolio or completed projects tend to be strongest for remote consideration.
Are these new grad automation jobs?
Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior automation roles. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-op work toward the requirement, or explicitly accepts a portfolio in place of formal employment history. Searching for junior or entry level titles returns the most relevant results for candidates just starting out.
Which industries hire the most entry level automations?
Entry level automation roles concentrate in Manufacturing, Technology & Software, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they rely on repeatable processes, quality control workflows, or rapid software deployment cycles that junior automation professionals can support from day one.
