Control Systems Engineer - Glamorgan - up to £58,000 + Relocation + Benefits - Ref 1995

I am currently recruiting for a Control Systems Engineer to work for a cutting-edge technology company based in Glamorgan. Salary up to £58,000 + Relocation + Benefits.

The organisation has been in operation for many years and are worldwide leaders within the design, development, and manufacture of their highly intelligent products. As a business they have a very impressive turnover, employ around 250 people and are constantly evolving their legacy products as well as designing and developing new innovative products to bring to market.

In line with demand for their products and to support the business with their innovation plans they have the need to create a new role and appoint another Control Systems Engineer on a permanent basis.

In this role as a Control Systems Engineer, you will responsible for programming PLCs from scratch for a range of highly complex automation projects. They have a range of systems integrators that will integrate robots into the lines, but you may get involved in supporting them or doing this yourself if capable. There will also be some commissioning within the role and you may occasionally be required to attend suppliers sites to FAT test necessary equipment before it comes across to the factory for installation. You will be required to create the necessary technical specifications for the projects. It will be a combination of continuous improvement activities and new product introduction. This will be a typical day shift, but they do increase to double shifts when required which could be for up to 6 months a year in peak periods and when this happens you will be required to alternate between a 6-2, 2-10 shift pattern Monday-Friday.

Essential Requirements:

Experience as a Control Systems Engineer, Automation and Controls Engineer, Automation Engineer, Controls Engineer, PLC Programmer or similar

At least 18 months experience programming PLC's

Experience commissioning equipment and linesDesirable Requirements:

Experience Beckhoff, Siemens or Omron

Experience with FAT testing

Experience working in a highly regulated environment

Experience programming robots and/or integrating them

Experience with vision systemsThis is a fantastic opportunity for a Control Systems Engineer to work for a growing company who are working with some of the most advanced technology available. With the ambitious, but realistic plans the company has forecast there will be lots of opportunities to develop and progress internally if this appeals.

This is an immediate requirement so if you have the required skills and experience then please get in touch with an updated copy of your CV. Either apply direct or contact Adam on (phone number removed)

Robotics Jobs in the UK: Roles, Skills, Salaries and How to Get Hired (2026 Guide)

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and skills for engineers and researchers in manufacturing, logistics, autonomous vehicles, defence and healthcare. In the UK, most robotics jobs cluster around hubs such as London, Cambridge, Bristol, Oxford, Manchester and Edinburgh, with common titles including Robotics Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Controls Engineer and Mechatronics Engineer. The most efficient way to browse live robotics jobs is via specialist boards like RoboticsJobs.co.uk, which curate roles specifically in this field so you are not lost in generic tech listings. This guide covers everything you need to know about robotics jobs in the UK in 2026, from the roles and skills in demand to where to find live opportunities and how to stand out as a candidate.

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise robotics jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, university channels and community routes that reach robotics, SLAM and controls talent. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics 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.

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

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the automation hiring trends shaping UK robotics careers over the next three years — industrial, service and humanoid. Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics 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 at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.
