Rubicon Consulting is a well established, highly regarded recruitment business supplying contract and permanent technical staff into the Energy and Utilities sectors.

The position in a nutshell:

You will be given a job description for a live role with one of our prestigious clients which will include a list of required and desirable qualifications, experience and skills as well as the pay rate.

Using job boards, social media and our extensive database of job seekers you will search for potential matches for the role, compile a list and then call them to gather information to assess their suitability and availability.

Once this is established, the chosen few will then be submitted to our client for consideration.

The process is then repeated for the next live vacancy and so on.

The person we want:

Recruitment resourcing isn’t rocket science but it does require a certain set of skills that are not just words but are meaningful qualities that we know combine to make a successful consultant.

Persistence, resilience, hard work, a good sense of humour and common sense are the foundations. You will be making a lot of calls every day and will need to be able to communicate in a natural way to both impart and receive and understand information. We don’t use scripts, we don’t employ robots. You’ll also need to have some basic IT skills as you will be using Microsoft Office plus our recruitment database on a daily basis.

Self-motivation, quick thinking, intelligence, good organisational skills, a commitment to providing great customer service, a desire to go above and beyond to make sure the job is done properly, a passion to push yourself to earn top commission and bonuses based on

your performance. These are the qualities that make the difference between a successful consultant and an also ran.

You don’t need to have recruitment experience. If you’ve worked in telesales, customer service, estate agency, outbound telephone calling or any similar role where you are talking to people for most of your day, you’ll have a good chance of transferring those skills.

Similarly if you are a graduate looking for a career, recruitment is widely recognised and respected as a professional industry.

You don’t need to have a degree though. In fact, recruitment is one of the very few careers where you can learn on the job and very quickly earn the sort of salary you might expect to receive as a fully qualified engineer, accountant or solicitor.

What we offer:

  • Competitive, negotiable basic salary

  • Regular ongoing salary reviews.

  • Individual, industry leading commission based on performance – calculated as a percentage of the revenue generated from the people you find.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
