Field Service Technician – Mechanical bias with some Electrical experience.

Location: Oxford area, with approximately 30%-40% travel to other sites when needed.

We’re seeking an experienced Mechanical Field Service Technician to support, maintain, and improve automated mechanical equipment across customer sites in the UK and overseas. This role suits someone with strong mechanical systems experience, confident troubleshooting skills, and the flexibility to travel as needed.

Key responsibilities:

* Diagnose and repair mechanical equipment and automation systems on customer sites and, where possible, remotely.

* Adjust and fine‑tune machinery to maximise uptime, reliability, and performance.

* Lead small on‑site teams when required, and coordinate activities with customer contacts and external vendors.

* Record service activities, technical findings, and recommendations for future improvements.

* Support customer maintenance teams with guidance on routine maintenance and fault‑finding.

* Work safely at all times, following both company and customer procedures and standards.

Technical profile:

* Minimum 5 years’ hands‑on mechanical experience (e.g. automation, machinery, conveyors, robotics, or similar).

* Strong knowledge of pneumatics and hydraulics, with basic understanding of electrical and control systems.

* Confident reading engineering drawings, manuals, and schematics.

* Comfortable using standard MS Office tools (e.g. Word and Excel) for service and reporting tasks.

* Qualification in Mechanical Engineering, Tool & Die Making, MTBI, or a comparable mechanical discipline.

* Willing and able to travel throughout the UK, with occasional short‑notice international trips.

Ideal for engineers who enjoy variety, autonomy, and working directly with customers to solve real mechanical challenges on site

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.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.
