Are you an experienced Robot Programmer looking to work on exciting automotive projects? We are recruiting skilled professionals to join a growing team, working on cutting-edge Body in White (BIW) robotic systems for major industry clients.

About the Role:

This position focuses on programming and optimizing robotic systems for welding and production lines. From initial programming to customer handover, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality solutions. Training in simulation tools such as Process Simulate is provided to enhance your skillset.

Projects are primarily located in the Midlands and North West, with frequent travel between Birmingham and Liverpool. Flexibility is essential, as other UK locations or occasional international travel may be required for future projects. Hotels and expenses are covered, travel time is paid, and overtime is available after 45 hours per week.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Programming, troubleshooting, and maintaining robotic systems onsite.

  • Delivering both online and offline robot programming (training provided for offline programming).

  • Supporting the installation and commissioning of robotic equipment.

  • Collaborating with PLC and electrical teams to meet project goals.

  • Documenting procedures, updates, and modifications.

  • Staying up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies.

    Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Experience programming ABB robots (experience with other manufacturers also considered).

  • Familiarity with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) standards is highly desirable.

  • A minimum of 2 years of onsite robot programming experience.

  • Knowledge of offline programming tools such as Process Simulate, RobCad, or Robot Studio is a plus.

  • Strong Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

  • Excellent time management, organizational, and communication skills.

    What’s on Offer:

  • Competitive salary: £50,000 to £65,000 per year.

  • Paid travel and fully covered expenses for project-related travel.

  • Overtime available after 45 hours per week.

  • Full-time, permanent role with potential for future international projects in Europe and the US.

    This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-profile projects, with excellent potential for career growth. If you’re ready for the challenge, apply now

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.
