We are seeking a skilled Maintenance Engineer to work in a fast-paced environment, maintaining and servicing high-speed automated machinery, equipment, and robotic systems. This role requires a hands-on approach to ensure maximum equipment uptime and efficiency while adhering to safety and performance standards.

Key skills required for the Maintenance Engineer vacancy:

  • Perform preventive and reactive maintenance on automated production machinery, robotics, and high-speed manufacturing equipment.

  • Troubleshoot and repair electrical and mechanical faults to minimize downtime and ensure smooth operations.

  • Work closely with the engineering and production teams to identify and implement improvements for increased efficiency and reliability.

  • Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations and maintain accurate maintenance records.

  • Conduct root cause analysis on recurring issues to develop long-term solutions.

  • Assist in the installation and commissioning of new machinery and automation systems.

  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and provide technical support to other departments as needed.

    The suitable candidate for Maintenance Engineer will need to possess the following skills and experience:

  • Apprentice-trained electrical or mechanical engineer, with a minimum Level 3 qualification.

  • Proven experience in a maintenance engineering role, preferably within a fast-paced, automated, or robotics-based environment.

  • Strong knowledge of electrical and mechanical fault finding, PLCs, pneumatics, and hydraulics.

  • Ability to work under pressure, prioritize tasks, and respond quickly to breakdowns.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently or as part of a team.

    This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive Maintenance Engineer looking to develop their skills in an advanced engineering environment. If you have the required experience and are ready for a new challenge, we encourage you to apply.

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.

Education

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.
