Are you an experienced Robot Programmer looking to work on exciting automotive projects? We are recruiting skilled professionals to join a growing team, working on cutting-edge Body in White (BIW) robotic systems for major industry clients.

About the Role:

This position focuses on programming and optimizing robotic systems for welding and production lines. From initial programming to customer handover, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality solutions. Training in simulation tools such as Process Simulate is provided to enhance your skillset.

Projects are primarily located in the Midlands and North West, with frequent travel between Birmingham and Liverpool. Flexibility is essential, as other UK locations or occasional international travel may be required for future projects. Hotels and expenses are covered, travel time is paid, and overtime is available after 45 hours per week.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Programming, troubleshooting, and maintaining robotic systems onsite.

  • Delivering both online and offline robot programming (training provided for offline programming).

  • Supporting the installation and commissioning of robotic equipment.

  • Collaborating with PLC and electrical teams to meet project goals.

  • Documenting procedures, updates, and modifications.

  • Staying up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies.

    Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Experience programming ABB robots (experience with other manufacturers also considered).

  • Familiarity with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) standards is highly desirable.

  • A minimum of 2 years of onsite robot programming experience.

  • Knowledge of offline programming tools such as Process Simulate, RobCad, or Robot Studio is a plus.

  • Strong Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

  • Excellent time management, organizational, and communication skills.

    What’s on Offer:

  • Competitive salary: £50,000 to £65,000 per year.

  • Paid travel and fully covered expenses for project-related travel.

  • Overtime available after 45 hours per week.

  • Full-time, permanent role with potential for future international projects in Europe and the US.

    This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-profile projects, with excellent potential for career growth. If you’re ready for the challenge, apply now

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
