Graduate Commissioning Engineer

£27,224 basic + generous benefits + o/t + flexible working hours + pension

Derby

Our established and highly successful niche sector client offers a range of highest quality services that encompass Project Management and Implementation, Consultancy and Software Development to blue chip clients worldwide, and as a result of continued success and an ongoing planned programme of strategic growth, they are now seeking to recruit an enthusiastic Graduate Commissioning Engineer to complement the existing Industrial Automation and Projects team delivering end to end control system solutions.

A team player with a tenacious approach to completing tasks and tests efficiently and thoroughly, as a Graduate Commissioning Engineer you will assist the project delivery team in the commissioning, installation and test of a range of control systems and equipment at customer sites across the UK. Core duties will include (but not be limited to):

Working closely with project delivery engineers to ensure projects are delivered on time and meet the required high-quality standards.
Conducting on-site inspections and performance testing to verify system
Providing technical support and documentation for commissioning
Collaborating with clients and project teams to resolve issues and achieve successful project
Ensuring compliance with health, safety, and environmental
Assisting in the production and Factory Acceptance Testing of the systems before being deployed to the site. To be considered for this varied and challenging Graduate Commissioning Engineer role it is envisaged that the successful candidate will be qualified to degree level or above in an electrical, electronic or control engineering discipline and be able to demonstrate solid problem-solving skills, an analytical approach and excellent communication skills at all levels.

You will essentially hold a full UK manual driving licence and have no criminal convictions due to security clearances required by airport authorities and will be eligible to work in the UK without requiring a visa or sponsorship.

This is a field-based role covering the UK and (occasionally Europe) and is ideally suited for someone based in Derby or the surrounding area with a flexible approach to travelling and working away from home.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Robotics Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's robotics sector has established itself as one of Europe's most innovative and rapidly expanding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior automation engineers to principal robotics scientists and heads of robotics development. With robotics positions commanding salaries from £32,000 for graduate robotics engineers to £100,000+ for senior principal engineers, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this transformative and continuously evolving field. Unlike traditional engineering roles, robotics hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by manufacturing cycles, government automation incentives, and robotics deployment timelines. The sector's unique combination of mechanical engineering, software development, and artificial intelligence creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in building tomorrow's automated systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for robotics job applications in the UK, examining how national automation strategies, manufacturing cycles, and robotics technology initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering robotics development team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of autonomous systems and intelligent automation.

Pre-Employment Checks for Robotics Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

The robotics industry represents one of the most dynamic and transformative sectors in modern technology, with robotics professionals playing crucial roles in advancing automation capabilities, developing intelligent systems, and reshaping manufacturing, healthcare, service industries, and defence applications. As robotics evolves from industrial automation to autonomous systems and human-robot collaboration, pre-employment screening processes have become increasingly sophisticated and multifaceted. Robotics careers span diverse environments from manufacturing facilities and aerospace companies to healthcare robotics providers, autonomous vehicle developers, and emerging service robotics startups. Each sector brings unique screening requirements reflecting the safety-critical nature of robotic systems, the interdisciplinary complexity of robotics development, and the critical importance of maintaining both operational safety and system reliability standards. Understanding robotics pre-employment screening helps professionals navigate career opportunities effectively whilst enabling employers to identify candidates capable of contributing to robotics innovation whilst maintaining appropriate safety standards, regulatory compliance, and technical excellence. The screening processes examine not only technical robotics competencies but also safety awareness, system integration capabilities, and ability to work effectively across the multidisciplinary robotics ecosystem. This comprehensive guide examines the full spectrum of pre-employment screening practices across robotics careers, from basic right-to-work verification through enhanced safety clearance processes, technical competency assessment, and industry-specific requirements. Whether pursuing opportunities in industrial automation, autonomous systems development, medical robotics, or robotics research leadership, understanding these screening processes enables robotics professionals to prepare effectively and advance their careers successfully. The robotics sector's unique combination of mechanical engineering, software development, artificial intelligence, and human-machine interaction creates screening requirements that reflect both the technical demands of robotics innovation and the safety considerations of human-robot collaboration. These processes ultimately support the continued advancement of robotics by ensuring high professional standards and technical competence necessary for safe robotics deployment and responsible robotics technology development.
