Are you a skilled Welder who loves working on challenging projects, not just production lines?

If you take pride in your welds, enjoy variety, and want to be part of a team that builds and repairs tooling for some of the most advanced manufacturing in the UK, this is one worth looking at.

You’ll be joining a world class aerospace manufacturer with a proper in house toolroom and forge, where heavy industry meets high precision. The work is cleanly run but gritty. An organised, safety led workshop with the smell of oil, steel and hard graft in the air.

They’re growing fast, investing heavily in new kit, and adding new talent to strengthen their team. You’ll be surrounded by experienced Toolmakers and Engineers who are happy to share their knowledge and support your development.

Job Title: Welder

Location: Redditch, Worcestershire

Hours: 9-day fortnight

Week 1: Monday–Friday, 06:00–14:00

Week 2: Monday–Thursday, 14:00–00:00 (Fridays off)

Pay & Benefits:

·         £17.00 per hour + £50.05 weekly shift allowance (≈ £1.32/hr extra)

·         1.5× overtime after 38 hours / Saturdays

·         2× overtime on Sundays

·         25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays

·         Pension (3% employer / 5% employee)

·         Production & attendance bonuses

·         Perkbox rewards scheme

Compliance & Screening

As part of working in a regulated aerospace environment, successful candidates will be asked to complete standard compliance checks, including:

·         HMRC right-to-work verification

·         5-year traceable work history (employment or references)

·         Drug & alcohol screening

·         And, depending on the work area, a DBS or enhanced security check

These checks are arranged directly by the employer later in the process, so you won’t need to complete them during the initial application stage. (Please note applications without traceable employment history cannot be progressed.)

Your Responsibilities

·         Perform MIG, TIG, and ARC welding on dies, clip tools, and fabricated tooling.

·         Carry out heat treatment on dies as part of the repair and refurbishment process.

·         Operate and maintain welding equipment and assist with fabrication and fitting work in the toolroom.

·         Run the robotic MIG welder once trained (bespoke system – full training provided).

·         Work collaboratively with Toolmakers and Engineers to support production and tooling repair schedules.

·         Ensure all work meets internal quality standards and is fully documented for audit purposes.

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience as a Welder – ideally with MIG as your core process, plus TIG/ARC exposure.

Background in heavy manufacturing, aerospace, or tooling environments preferred.

Ability to interpret engineering drawings and work accurately to tight tolerances.

Willingness to learn and operate the robotic MIG welder (training provided).

Recruitment Process

To apply, simply upload your CV below or contact Josh Whitmore on (phone number removed) or .

All applicants will first have a brief pre screening call, followed by a video call with Your Recruiters.  We like to meet everyone face to face (virtually or in person) before putting you forward.

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.

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.
