How to Find Hidden Robotics Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IMechE, BARA & More

The robotics industry in the UK is evolving at pace—driven by advances in automation, AI, embedded systems and mechatronics. From autonomous vehicles and surgical robots to warehouse automation and space robotics, the demand for skilled professionals is growing fast. Yet despite this demand, many of the most exciting robotics jobs in the UK are never publicly advertised. They’re filled through professional networks, technical groups, academic partnerships and early-stage collaborations. In this article, we’ll show you how to uncover these hidden robotics jobs by getting involved with key organisations such as the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), BARA (British Automation and Robot Association), UK-RAS Network, and others. You’ll learn how to use directories, special interest groups (SIGs), CPD events, and innovation projects to discover opportunities before they’re made public.

How to Get a Better Robotics Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy
