£52,500 10% pension 
4on/4off Days and Nights  

Why would you want to work for them?

Ready to be part of something huge? This is a brand-new, state-of-the-art site with a massive £65 million investment that’s revolutionising the way things are done. With a focus on growth and innovation, you’ll be working in a high-tech environment that produces 105 million products every year!
As a maintenance engineer you will have the chance to work on brand new machinery (including Robots) and up-skilling is at the forefront of the culture. How many companies offer the chance for overtime to shadow and work closely on projects to develop more in-depth knowledge on PLC’s and provide accredited training courses to those who show willingness to learn. They have just built a brand new Siemens S7 test rig with the latest SCW and Siemens Drives to learn from.
This isn't just a job; it’s a career. Engineers who have joined the company have stepped up into roles like Team Leader, Supervisor, and even Group Engineering roles. You'll get the opportunity to shadow projects, collaborate closely with other teams, and gain invaluable knowledge in PLC systems and controls engineering.
Are you mechanically biased with reasonable electrical knowledge? No problem! You’ll have the chance to get Level 3 Electrical Training (equivalent to C&G Level 3) and become a fully multi-skilled maintenance engineer.
What’s the Culture Like?
This is a place where people work together and genuinely get on. The team is highly collaborative, and socialising outside of work is the norm. They actively encourage fresh ideas and are all about continuous improvement – if you’ve got an idea, they’ll listen.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

Amazing Pension: Matched contributions up to 10%, giving you 20% pension in total!
Generous Holiday: 22 days holiday (for the 4on/4off shift) – that’s above the average for similar shifts.
Overtime Pay: Time-and-a-half during the week, double time on Sundays!
OEM Training: Get top-tier training from leading manufacturers on-site – perfect for engineers who want to stay at the top of their game.
PLC Siemens Training: For those ready to dive deeper into controls, you’ll have access to on-site PLC training and a dedicated test rig for the maintenance engineer
Level 3 Electrical Courses: If you’re mechanically biased, take the opportunity to up-skill to Level 3 Electrical – become fully multi-skilled.
Employee Support: Access to mental health support, GP services, and an Employee Assistance Program – we care about your wellbeing.
Exclusive Discounts: Save with vouchers from top retailers!
Leadership Opportunities: Step into leadership roles – current team leaders have grown from within, and the company even paid for their ILM Level 3 Leadership qualification.
Strong Team Culture: Everyone works together like family. Culture fit is key – they want people who will thrive in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment.

What We’re Looking for:

At least 3 year’s experience working as a maintenance engineer 
Must be qualified to Level 3 in an Engineering Discipline
Ideally be a multi-skilled maintenance engineer with an electrical bias
If mechanically biased – need to have a reasonable level of electrical knowledge as a maintenance engineer
Experience with any of the following advantageous: Conveyors, Kilns, dryers, crushers, robots.
Ex-forces encouraged to apply

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
