Mould Your Career in a Hands-On Engineering Role

Our client, Rotational Moulding Group is a well-established and growing plastic manufacturing business, operating across three sites in the North-West since 1973. With a strong reputation for quality and innovation, the group delivers a diverse range of manufacturing solutions including rotational moulding, vacuum forming, CNC machining, robotics and fabrication. Supported by an enthusiastic and expanding team, the business offers a dynamic environment where individuals can contribute ideas, develop their skills and be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking culture. They are now seeking a Project Engineer to support projects across their full lifecycle.

Reporting to the Senior Project Engineer you will play a key role in ensuring delivery is on time, to specification and commercially effective. This is a varied, hands-on position involving project coordination, liaison with the production and purchasing teams and suppliers and maintaining project documentation in line with ISO quality standards. You will also be involved in product sampling, inspection, and facilitation of the introduction of new products into the manufacturing process including arranging and leading sampling & training sessions. This role offers real scope to learn, grow and make an impact within a supportive team environment.

Our client is looking for someone with real energy and enthusiasm - someone hands-on, curious and eager to learn. You will be highly organised with excellent time management and a keen eye for detail, alongside strong communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset. You should have a solid grounding in engineering principles (via qualifications and/or experience), be comfortable using basic hand tools, and confident working both independently and as part of a team. Strong IT skills are essential, including MS Word and Excel, and familiarity with manufacturing systems, bill of materials and stock codes would be beneficial. Experience with 3D CAD (ideally SolidWorks), 3D printing or CNC machining would be advantageous, though training can be provided for the right individual.

Ideal skills and qualities for this Project Engineer role are:

Highly organised

Excellent time management

Excellent communicator

Process driven

Pro-active

Problem solver

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
