Proactive Personnel Ltd are currently recruiting for an experienced Electrical Design Engineer. For this role, we are able to consider experienced Graduate (B.Eng / M.Eng Electrical, Electronics or Mechatronic degree qualification) or experienced Design Engineers.

All levels of experience will be considered.

As a graduate, our client are able to offer a challenging, engaging environment where you will be encouraged to secure experience in a breadth of different disciplines in the design and commissioning of automated systems. For fully experienced Engineers, you will be working closely with customers to solve complex engineering challenges in a supportive and dynamic environment!

Duties and responsibilities will include:

  • Electrical design and development of automation systems

  • Robot and control system programming and configuration.

  • Creation of technical documentation.

  • Working to product design standards.

  • Working to departmental design procedures.

  • Provide internal technical product support.

    For graduate engineers, all levels of experience are considered. For senior engineers, you must be fully qualified and be able to prove relevant experience in electrical design.

  • Substantial experience (3 - 5+ years) of designing Electrical Systems in an industrial setting.

  • Experience of designing electromechanical systems (eg. Robotics, production automation etc.).

  • Solid experience of working as part of a team on medium to large engineering projects.

  • Extensive experience of designing electrical panels for industrial systems.

  • CAD experience (preferably AutoCAD).

  • Knowledge of relevant electrical safety standards (IEC61010, NPA79 etc.)

  • A high degree of flexibility in a continuously changing environment.

    This is a permanent opportunity with an immediate start for the successful candidate.

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.
