We are currently recruiting for a hands-on Project Engineer to support the installation, maintenance, and optimisation of advanced safety and tracking technology systems across customer sites within the UK logistics, warehousing, and material handling sectors.

Working directly on customer sites, you will be responsible for installing, commissioning, fault finding, servicing, and supporting AI-powered camera and Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) designed to improve operational safety, fleet visibility, and warehouse productivity.

As a customer-facing engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring systems remain fully operational while delivering a high level of technical support and service to logistics and warehouse operators across the UK.

The position offers long-term technical development and exposure to modern technologies including industrial safety systems, computer vision, fleet monitoring, industrial networking, and automation solutions.

This is a practical field-based role involving regular UK travel, customer interaction, and hands-on engineering work in warehouse and industrial environments.

Key Responsibilities

* Install, configure, test, and commission RTLS, camera, and safety systems at customer sites.

* Carry out on-site fault finding, diagnostics, servicing, and repairs to ensure maximum equipment uptime.

* Perform preventative maintenance and system inspections across logistics and warehouse environments.

* Support customers with technical issues both remotely and on-site.

* Work on and around forklifts, MHE, warehouse vehicles, and industrial equipment to integrate safety and tracking systems.

* Assist with electrical and electro-mechanical installations, wiring, mounting, and system setup.

* Conduct customer training and operational handovers following installations.

* Complete service reports, installation records, and maintenance documentation accurately.

* Support system upgrades, software updates, and hardware replacements.

* Liaise with internal engineering and technical teams to escalate recurring faults and provide field feedback.

* Maintain high standards of health & safety and comply with customer site requirements.

* Travel regularly throughout the UK to support customer operations.

Skills & Experience

* Experience working within logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, or material handling environments.

* Strong electrical, mechanical, or electro-mechanical fault-finding skills.

* Experience servicing forklifts, reach trucks, pallet trucks, AGVs, warehouse equipment, or industrial vehicles would be highly advantageous.

* Comfortable working independently in customer-facing environments.

* Good understanding of industrial electrical systems, sensors, wiring, CCTV, or vehicle electronics.

* Basic IT and networking knowledge would be beneficial.

* Interest in modern technologies such as AI systems, industrial safety solutions, fleet management, automation, or camera systems.

* Strong communication and customer service skills.

* Organised with the ability to manage multiple jobs and service visits.

* Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively across the UK.

* Fluent English, both written and spoken

Robotics Jobs in the UK: Roles, Skills, Salaries and How to Get Hired (2026 Guide)

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and skills for engineers and researchers in manufacturing, logistics, autonomous vehicles, defence and healthcare. In the UK, most robotics jobs cluster around hubs such as London, Cambridge, Bristol, Oxford, Manchester and Edinburgh, with common titles including Robotics Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Controls Engineer and Mechatronics Engineer. The most efficient way to browse live robotics jobs is via specialist boards like RoboticsJobs.co.uk, which curate roles specifically in this field so you are not lost in generic tech listings. This guide covers everything you need to know about robotics jobs in the UK in 2026, from the roles and skills in demand to where to find live opportunities and how to stand out as a candidate.

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

Where to advertise robotics jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, university channels and community routes that reach robotics, SLAM and controls talent. 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 Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the automation hiring trends shaping UK robotics careers over the next three years — industrial, service and humanoid. 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.
