Controls Engineer – Shropshire - Permanent - £50-65k + car allowance + hybrid working + bonus

+++Wide variety of sectors & types of projects, defined career path, company is an innovator, embraces new technologies, superb/modern office space+++

Samuel Frank is recruiting for a Controls Engineer to join a rapidly growing Shropshire based systems integrator. As a Controls Engineer you’ll be working on a wide range of projects, including but not limited to heavy industry, marine applications, manufacturing, energy storage and distribution or metal processing plants.

Key aspects of the Controls Engineer position include;

* Software design, including Software Design Specifications and production of software deliverables for PLC, HMI, SCADA, robots or variable speed drives

* Electrical / controls concept design including Functional Design Specification, Safety Requirements Specification, Single Line Diagrams, Network Topology, Device Layout, Cause & Effect Matrix, Safety Block Diagram etc.

* Conduct FATs and SATs

* Control Engineers who are Certified Machine Safety Engineers (CMSE) or TUV Functional Safety accredited will be considered favourably – not essential

* Role is hybrid, so when you’re not working on customer sites the expectation is that you’re in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays and another day of your choice and the remaining two days are home-based.

* When you’re in the office you’ll be working in modern, high specification workspace – this is a cool place to work!

* Role won’t involve extended periods on site. The company has a commissioning and installation team that picks up the heavy lifting in terms of site work. For example, the Controls Engineer might expect to be on site for 2-3 weeks at the end of a job where they’ve been home and office based for 6 months.

* Company promotes from within and has a clear career progression path for Controls Engineers joining the team

* They’re innovators, the company push the boundaries of what’s possible with existing and new technologies.

The position is commutable from the following places - Market Drayton, Telford, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth and Newport and because you only need to be in the office 3 days a week, it’s also commutable from Stafford, Stone, Stoke, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Kidderminster, Lichfield, Cannock, Rugeley or Tamworth

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.
