I'm working with an award-winning Nuclear solutions business based in Leicester that's currently recruiting for 23x Mechanical Engineers broken down as follows:

11x Senior Mechanical Engineer - £48,000 to £61,500
12x Principal Mechanical Engineer - £61,500 to £80,000

You'd be working on Civil Decommissioning projects in the Nuclear sector such as:

RepU Project - Reprocessed uranium (RepU) in the UK refers to uranium recovered from spent nuclear fuel, primarily at the Sellafield reprocessing plant
TMF Project - The UK Tails Management Facility (TMF) is a facility in Capenhurst, Chester operated by Urenco ChemPlants Limited. It processes depleted uranium hexafluoride, also known as "tails," from Urenco's European enrichment facilities
The FED Project - Assess the potential for domestic manufacturing to support the construction of novel small pebble-bed nuclear reactors
The BEP Project - The "Box Encapsulation Plant (BEP) project" at Sellafield, focuses on managing and storing Magnox reactor waste
The MSSS Project - Magnox Swarf Storage Silo (MSSS) is the most hazardous building on the Sellafield site, so the work of removing the waste and putting it into modern, safe containment packages is a top priority
The PFCS Project - This entails the detailed design, procurement, manufacture, works testing, delivery to site, installation and commissioning of a complex system for cutting access holes into the silo that include shielded access doors, a robotic waste retrieval arm, waste transporters and repackaging plants
The main skills/experience required for these roles are:

Prior experience in Mechanical Engineering (ESSENTIAL)
Experienced in mechanical/manual handling (ESSENTIAL)
Bulk Powder transfer/handling (NICE TO HAVE FOR PRINCIPAL)
Experience of electrolysers, piping, hazardous chemical handling and high-hazard maintenance (NICE TO HAVE FOR PRINCIPAL)
Nuclear sector experience (NICE TO HAVE)
Experienced in using Autodesk Inventor (NICE TO HAVE)
Has a Mechanical Engineering Degree: BEng or MEng (NICE TO HAVE)
Chartered Engineer: CEng (NICE TO HAVE)
These roles are a great opportunity for experienced Mechanical Engineers looking to step into a bigger role and would like to work on nuclear projects.

The roles are hybrid-working of 3x days per week on-site and you must be eligible for SC Clearance to be considered for these positions

How to Get a Better Robotics Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the robotics industry can feel like a sudden halt, particularly in such a complex, fast-evolving field. But with robotics at the heart of innovation across manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, logistics, and defence, the UK continues to offer excellent career opportunities. Whether you're a robotics software engineer, systems integrator, mechanical design expert, or autonomous systems researcher, this guide is here to help you reset, rebrand, and relaunch your career after redundancy.

Robotics Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is already outdated for UK robotics professionals Ask a Robotics Software Engineer fine‑tuning SLAM algorithms, a Mechatronics Engineer chasing motor‑controller jitter at 3 a.m., or a Field Robotics Specialist testing autonomous tractors in Somerset: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes every quarter. Retail warehouses roll out 1,000 collaborative arms overnight; battery subsidies super‑charge autonomous delivery start‑ups; & the UK government pledges £200 million for industrial robot adoption. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any salary guide printed in 2024 reads like a dusty datasheet—ignorant of the NHS surgical‑robot procurement boom, the Midlands EV‑assembly cobot surge, or the drone‑in‑dock pilots blanketing Scottish offshore wind farms. To turn guesswork into evidence, RoboticsJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority; you’ll get a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article unpacks the formula, spotlights six forces pushing robotics pay skyward, & sets out five practical moves to boost your market value inside ninety days.

How to Present Robotics Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Robotics is changing the world—from smart factories and autonomous vehicles to healthcare assistants and drone deliveries. But no matter how advanced the system is, a robotics solution won’t be adopted unless it’s clearly understood by those who make decisions: business leaders, clients, investors, and end-users. That’s why employers in the UK robotics industry are now actively seeking candidates who can communicate clearly and confidently with non-technical audiences. Whether you’re a recent graduate, a mechanical engineer, a software specialist or an automation consultant, your ability to explain how your robots work—and why they matter—could be the difference between getting shortlisted and getting hired. This guide shows you how to structure your robotics presentation, design effective slides, use storytelling and analogies, and answer common stakeholder questions—so you can stand out in interviews and beyond.
