They deliver full automation and digital transformation projects and are known for taking ownership from concept through to commissioning.

Due to continued growth, they are now looking to bring in an Electrical Project Engineer to strengthen their delivery team.

The Role

This is a hands-on, project-focused role where you will take ownership of the electrical delivery across automation projects.

You will work closely with the Project Manager and be responsible for everything from panel build and installation through to commissioning and start of production.

This role will suit someone who is comfortable being both hands-on and commercially aware, with the ability to manage projects while still getting involved technically when needed.

* Carry out commissioning of control panels, I/O and drives

* Support with hands-on installation and panel build where required

* Work closely with Project Managers to track progress and mitigate risks

* Act as a key point of contact for customers throughout delivery

* Produce RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements)

* Support with project costing and estimates where required

What We’re Looking For

* Minimum 3–5 years’ experience within electrical engineering / automation projects

* Strong background in electrical installation, panel build and commissioning

* Experience working on industrial automation or manufacturing projects

* Ability to manage projects while remaining hands-on

* Comfortable working on-site and leading installation teams

* Strong communication skills with both internal teams and customers

Qualifications

* NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation (or equivalent)

* Completed electrical apprenticeship

* 18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671)

* 2391 Inspection & Testing (preferred)

Additional Information

* Hybrid working (Birmingham base)

* Around 25% travel to customer sites

* Overtime available (including weekends where required)

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

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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 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.
