Electrical Supervisor | Walsall | £57,000 | Monday to Friday

Let’s be honest: most Electrical Supervisor roles are just "glorified maintenance" with more paperwork. This isn’t one of them.

A leader in their manufacturing sector, and they don’t just make products; they manage high-speed, industrial automation.

They are looking for a technical authority - someone who knows their way around PLC's (ideally) and to lead the electrical team into a digital-first future.

The Mission

You aren't just "fixing things.". Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will:

Own the Standards: From software version control to LOTO processes, you set the bar for "what good looks like."
Mentor the Team: You’ll take our shift electricians from "good" to "elite" through hands-on coaching and performance development.
Drive the Tech: Support our site’s digitalisation strategy. If there’s a repeat issue, you’re the one finding the root cause and killing it for good.
Lead the Projects: Manage capital project electrical scopes and third-party contractors.

Why You’ll Want This Role

The Money: Minimum £57,000 annual earnings (including allowances/bonuses), with overtime available to push that even higher.
The Balance: Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 17:00. Rare for a role of this level in manufacturing.
The Perks: Private medical (for you and the family), a profit-sharing scheme, and a massive retail discount platform.
The Security: Join a massive UK manufacturer with a clear commitment to sustainable building and long-term asset reliability.

Are You the One?

You’re an electrically biased engineer, Level 3 qualified, and you don’t mind getting your hands dirty when the situation demands it.

The Brains: Strong Siemens PLC experience and a deep understanding of UK electrical legislation.
The Badge: 18th Edition (BS 7671).
The Backbone: Previous experience supervising teams in a manufacturing industry.
The Vibe: You’re a safety-first leader who enjoys mentoring others.

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.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.
