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.

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.

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.
