Multi-Skilled Engineer

Location: Strood, Kent
Hours: Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: £35,000 - £45,000, Based on Experience + Paid Overtime

Are you a hands-on engineer with a talent for solving problems - whether you're more at home with spanners or schematics?

We're looking for a Multi-Skilled Engineer, either electrical or mechanical biased, to join our expert team building high-end, robotic-based automation systems. Whether your background leans toward mechanical or electrical engineering, this is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects for some of the world's leading manufacturers.

From system build to on-site installation, every day brings something different-and if you're looking to grow your skills into new areas like robotics or PLC programming, we'll support you every step of the way.

What You'll Be Doing as a Multi- Skilled Engineer:

Assembling and installing bespoke robotic automation systems

Working in-house and occasionally on-site with customers across the UK (and abroad)

Collaborating with a team of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers

Reading and working from technical drawings, schematics, or wiring diagrams

Taking ownership of quality, safety, and performance during system builds

What You'll Bring:

Proven experience in a mechanical or electrical engineering environment

Hands-on skills in fitting, assembly, wiring, or electrical panel build

Ability to understand engineering drawings and follow build documentation

A practical, problem-solving mindset and willingness to learn

Team player mentality and strong communication skills

Comfortable working on customer sites and occasionally staying away

Desirable (but not essential):

Experience with automation systems, conveyors, or robotics

Background in CNC machining or machine tool maintenance

Interest in developing skills in PLC or robot programming

Why Join Us?

Work on innovative, custom-built automation systems

Gain exposure to advanced technologies across mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines

Regular paid overtime + annual bonus scheme

Long-term role with real opportunity for progression and cross-training

Be part of a supportive, highly skilled team at the forefront of automation engineering

A full UK driving licence is required

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.

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.
