Natta Building is a progressive civil engineering company with over 50 years’ experience and is looking to expand due to current healthy workload. We are looking to recruit graduate civil engineers in several locations across the southeast of England.
Candidates should have a Civil Engineering degree recognised by the ICE, with the desire to work towards becoming chartered on our ICE approved training scheme. If a UK degree is not held, confirmation of ICE acceptance of your degree should be forwarded with your application.
We work in a fast-paced environment and this position will suit candidates that take on information quickly and flourish when working on multiple concurrent challenges. We undertake many different types of projects and would look to give you experience across multiple sectors or can target specialities if you have a particular interest. There are opportunities to train with other Engineers from all over the world and to build relationships with co-workers to broaden your support network, all encouraged by Natta.
We are looking for self-motivated candidates, capable of managing their own workload, strong communication skills are essential for clear interface with our workforce and clients. Candidates will need to be proficient in the use of Microsoft Office and CAD skills would be beneficial. Training on the latest robotic EDM equipment will be provided. We are looking to employ engineers with the desire to progress to project management and will train you with this in mind. Accuracy of work on site and within the office is required and is key to progression within the company. This is a site-based role, suiting someone with the practical skills required to work either as a principal contractor or sub-contractor depending on the project.
There will be opportunity to get involved with elements of design, but the role would not suit someone looking for a full time design position or anyone with an architectural or structural bias. We are offering a starting salary of £38,000 p/a, with an annual pay review and bonus linked to performance along with ICE approved training after successful demonstration of your commitment, with subscription fees paid. Transport or fares will be provided or reimbursed as required. You will be provided with a company phone and laptop. Fluency in reading, writing and spoken English is mandatory for this position. Applicants who do not fulfil the criteria set out above will not be considered and we regret that a response will not be given.
Natta is unable to employ anyone who does not have the legal right to live and work in the UK.
In order to promote an environment within which the Company can call upon the widest range of knowledge, skills and experience, as well as ensuring compliance with the relevant legislation and codes of practice, we are committed to treating all applicants and employees in the same way regardless of race or colour, nationality or national or ethnic origin, religion or religious belief, sex or marital status, sexual orientation, disability or age

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.
