We are working in partnership with a leading manufacturing organisation to recruit an experienced Process Engineer with a strong background in Welding. This is an excellent opportunity for a technically driven engineer to join a well-established engineering team supporting high-quality, precision manufacturing operations.

The Role

As a Process Engineer specialising in welding, you will play a key role in developing, optimising, and supporting welding processes across production. You will work closely with manufacturing, quality, and design teams to ensure robust, repeatable processes that meet both customer and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and continuously improve welding processes across manufacturing operations.

  • Define welding parameters, process documentation, and standard operating procedures.

  • Lead welding process qualification and validation activities,

  • Troubleshoot welding defects and process issues using structured root cause analysis.

  • Support new product introduction (NPI), including process trials and production ramp-up.

  • Ensure compliance with relevant welding and quality standards (e.g. ISO, ASME, AWS).

  • Work closely with production teams to provide technical support and process training.

  • Liaise with equipment suppliers and consumable vendors as required.

    Candidate Profile

  • Qualified in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Materials Engineering, or a related discipline.

  • Proven experience in a Process Engineering role with a strong emphasis on welding.

  • Hands-on knowledge of welding processes such as MIG, TIG, Resistance, Laser, or Robotic welding.

  • Strong understanding of welding metallurgy, defect mechanisms, and quality standards.

  • Confident communicator with the ability to work cross-functionally in a manufacturing environment.

  • Experience in regulated or high-quality manufacturing sectors would be advantageous.

    What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

  • Long-term career progression within a stable and growing organisation.

  • Support from a knowledgeable engineering leadership team.

Maths for Robotics Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for robotics jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need degree level maths across everything. Most roles do not work like that. What hiring managers usually mean by “strong maths” is much more practical: you can move confidently between coordinate frames you understand rotations without getting lost you can reason about kinematics, control, uncertainty & optimisation you can turn that maths into working code in a robotics stack This guide focuses on the only maths topics that consistently show up across common UK roles like Robotics Software Engineer, Controls Engineer, Autonomous Systems Engineer, Perception Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Robotics Research Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer & Robotics Systems Engineer. You will also get a 6 week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section so you can learn fast without drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Robotics Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Robotics is where software, hardware & the physical world collide. From warehouse automation & surgical robots to drones, cobots & autonomous vehicles, robots must sense, think & act reliably in messy real environments. To build that kind of technology, you need people who think differently. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too chaotic” for engineering. In reality, many traits that made school or traditional offices hard are exactly what robotics teams need: intense focus on complex systems, pattern-spotting in sensor data, creative problem-solving when hardware misbehaves. This guide is written for neurodivergent job seekers exploring robotics careers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a robotics context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to key robotics roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in robotics – & how to turn “different thinking” into a professional superpower.

Robotics Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK robotics jobs market is in a strange but interesting place. On one hand, UK manufacturers, logistics firms and warehouses must automate to stay competitive, tackle labour shortages and meet productivity and net-zero targets. On the other hand, the UK still lags badly behind peers in robot adoption, with relatively low robot density in factories compared with other advanced economies – which is both a challenge and a massive opportunity. The National Robotarium +1 Add in AI, computer vision and edge computing, and you get a robotics landscape that is: More selective in hiring. More focused on real operational outcomes. More integrated with software, data and safety standards. Whether you are a robotics job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building automation and robotics teams, this guide explores the key robotics hiring trends for 2026.
