£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

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Robotics Jobs Hub

Robotics is reshaping industries—manufacturing, health care, agriculture, logistics, and beyond. From industrial robots assembling vehicles to surgical robots assisting complex procedures, and from drone deliveries to autonomous inspection systems, the boundaries of what robots can achieve are expanding daily. With rising demand for automation, productivity, and intelligent systems, organisations both public and private are investing heavily in robotics technologies. This surge in adoption has triggered increased demand for professionals skilled in robotics engineering, AI-enabled control systems, hardware design, and integration. The United Kingdom possesses the essential components to become a global robotics jobs hub: world-class research institutions, innovative robotics firms, strong industrial bases, and supportive policy frameworks. This article explores why the UK is well-positioned, where demand is growing, the career paths emerging, and what must occur to fully establish robotics as a powerhouse in UK employment.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Robotics Skills in 2025/26

Robotics is one of the fastest-growing industries in the UK and worldwide. From autonomous vehicles and warehouse automation to humanoid robots and robotic surgery, this field blends mechanical engineering, software development, and artificial intelligence. For anyone hoping to enter the sector — whether as a robotics engineer, control systems developer, computer vision specialist, or roboticist in research — practical skills matter far more than theory alone. Employers want proof you can design, simulate, and test robotic systems. The challenge is that real robots are expensive. Buying robotic arms, drones, or mobile platforms isn’t realistic for most learners. Fortunately, a wide range of free tools and platforms exist to let you practise robotics without costly hardware. These include open-source simulators, frameworks, middleware, and reinforcement learning environments. This article explores the best free tools and platforms available in 2025 to help you practise robotics skills, build portfolio projects, and prepare for careers in this exciting field.
