Samuel Frank is recruiting for an experienced Electrical Project Engineer to join a forward-thinking manufacturer based in North Yorkshire.
An Electrical Project Engineer who has experience of delivering engineering projects in a manufacturing or special purpose machinery related environment will be well suited.
(Call (phone number removed) and ask for the salary information. It’s a competitive range. I’ve been asked not to put it on the advert)
Key aspects of the Electrical Project Engineer include;

  • Must be electrically qualifed – ideally apprentice trained and/or qualifed to HNC/HND level in an electrically biased subject – must have some practical/”hands on” electrical experience
  • Be self-driven, a quick learner and someone who thrives in “making things happen”
  • Whilst it’s not essential, knowledge of working in an FMCG environment would be highly advantageous
  • The company has a “yes” policy for any relevant training requirements
  • Work with Project Managers and Operations, preparing all electrical involvement for new machinery installations
  • Successful Electrical Project Engineer will be responsible for full project delivery of upgrade programs replacing old or obsolete machinery and equipment with state of the art, automated manufacturing solutions – including material handling systems, robotics and packaging machinery
  • An Electrical Project Engineer who is apprentice trained and has moved into a Maintenance Engineer role, who has then picked up some project experience would be ideal
  • Opportunity to travel – occasional trips to suppliers – UK/Europe for FATs
  • Manage Contractor & Supplier Management (CDM) requirements
  • Working week is 37.5 hours per week and the role is “Days” based – hours to be worked between 7am-7pm

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
