Key Responsibilities

1. Maintenance & Reliability

* Diagnose, repair, and maintain injection moulding machines and related equipment.

* Work with electirc, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical drive systems to maximise machine uptime.

* Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) on failures and implement corrective actions.

* Develop and execute preventive and predictive maintenance schedules.

* Maintain accurate maintenance records, logs, and machine history information.

2. Process and Production Support

* Work closely with Process Technicians to identify and resolve mechanical issues affecting cycle time, scrap, and part quality.

* Support setup, trials, and validation of mould tools and new materials.

* Monitor machine performance and recommend improvements to enhance OEE.

* Provide rapid-response support to minimise production disruptions.

3. Equipment Projects & Installation

* Assist with the specification, installation, and commissioning of new moulding machines and peripheral equipment (dryers, chillers, robots, hot runner systems).

* Support machine upgrades, rebuilds, and retrofits to improve performance and reliability.

* Liaise with external suppliers and contractors during major maintenance activities.

4. Safety, Compliance & Documentation

* Ensure all machinery complies with PUWER, LOLER, HSE, and internal safety standards.

* Conduct engineering risk assessments and support safe systems of work.

* Maintain technical documentation including drawings, schematics, and maintenance procedures.

* Promote a strong safety culture across maintenance and production teams.

5. Cross‑Functional Support & Continuous Improvement

* Work collaboratively with Production, Quality, Toolroom, and Engineering teams.

* Support CI initiatives including Kaizen, Lean, 5S, and waste reduction activities.

* Contribute technical input to NPI (New Product Introduction) and development projects.

Skills, Experience & Qualifications

Essential

* Strong mechanical engineering background, ideally in injection moulding or heavy industrial machinery.

* Electrical Engineering Qualifacations (17th/18th edition OR HNC/HND)

* Hands-on experience with hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical drives, and machine structures.

* Strong problem-solving skills (RCA, 5 Why, Ishikawa).

* Ability to read mechanical drawings, hydraulic/pneumatic schematics, and technical documentation.

* Understanding of industrial machine safety standards.

* Ability to work under pressure and prioritise effectively in a fast-paced production environment.

Desirable

* Experience in plastics, moulding, or sealing product manufacturing.

* Knowledge of automation, robotics, or hot runner systems.

* Familiarity with CMMS systems.

* Lean or CI certification (e.g., Yellow Belt)

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.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.
