Robotics Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Rise of Robots—and the People Behind Them Robots are welding cars in Sunderland, packing groceries in Hatfield and inspecting offshore turbines in Aberdeen. According to the UK Robotics Growth Partnership (RGP), the domestic robotics market could reach £13 billion by 2030, creating more than 150,000 jobs. Yet many job‑seekers still believe robotics careers are limited to writing ROS nodes or designing gearboxes. The truth? RGP’s 2024 Skills Audit shows 40 % of advertised robotics roles focus on business, safety, ethics or project delivery, not engineering. Robots need managers, compliance officers, storytellers and change agents to leave the lab and add value on the warehouse floor. This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑coding robotics roles, the transferable skills you already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no soldering iron required.
