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 Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Rise of Robots—and the People Behind Them Robots are welding cars in Sunderland, packing groceries in Hatfield and inspecting offshore turbines in Aberdeen. According to the UK Robotics Growth Partnership (RGP), the domestic robotics market could reach £13 billion by 2030, creating more than 150,000 jobs. Yet many job‑seekers still believe robotics careers are limited to writing ROS nodes or designing gearboxes. The truth? RGP’s 2024 Skills Audit shows 40 % of advertised robotics roles focus on business, safety, ethics or project delivery, not engineering. Robots need managers, compliance officers, storytellers and change agents to leave the lab and add value on the warehouse floor. This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑coding robotics roles, the transferable skills you already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no soldering iron required.

Amazon Robotics Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Joining the Team Behind Proteus, Sparrow & Digit

When Amazon bought Kiva Systems back in 2012, few predicted that a single orange robot would snowball into a global fleet of over 750,000 mobile units navigating fulfilment centres from Swindon to Seattle. Fast‑forward to 2025 and Amazon Robotics (AR) is no longer a warehouse add‑on; it is a full‑blown tech powerhouse with dedicated R&D hubs, £multi‑billion investment and—crucially for you—hundreds of open roles spanning hardware, software and applied science. The official careers page lists 359 vacancies at the time of writing (amazon.jobs). Whether you are a UK student hungry for a summer internship, a ROS2 wizard targeting autonomy, or a mechanical engineer ready to design the next Proteus autonomous mobile robot, this guide unpacks everything you need to land an Amazon Robotics job in 2025.

Robotics vs. Mechatronics vs. Artificial Intelligence in Robotics: Which Path Should You Choose?

The Robotics sector has seen explosive growth in recent years, reshaping industries from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and consumer products. At the same time, emerging technologies such as Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are converging with traditional robotics to create ever more capable machines—whether autonomous drones delivering packages, collaborative robots (cobots) working alongside human operators, or AI-driven surgical assistants. If you’re exploring Robotics jobs on www.roboticsjobs.co.uk, you may encounter related terms like Mechatronics or AI in Robotics, often used interchangeably but each with distinct applications and required skill sets. Which path should you pursue if you’re passionate about building the next generation of intelligent machines? In this comprehensive article, we’ll define Robotics, Mechatronics, and AI in Robotics, delve into their overlapping and unique skill sets, discuss salary ranges, highlight real-world examples, and provide guidance on choosing a career that aligns with your interests and strengths. Whether you’re a mechanical engineer, software developer, electrical specialist, or AI researcher, these fields present diverse and rapidly expanding opportunities to innovate in automation and shape the future of work and society.
