Structural Engineer – Manchester – Permanent Role

We are working with a leading structural engineering company based in Manchester who are looking to hire a Structural engineer to join their collaborative team based in an excellently appointed office.

Variety is the spice of life and they offer a broad range of projects from £100m+ city centre developments to historic building restorations to award-winning residential projects.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Working with the existing team to review designs

  • Carrying out Structural Analysis calculating loads, stresses, and pressures on structures

  • Utilising various software packages such as Tekla and Robot

  • Working with architects, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure project objectives are met and designs are implemented effectively

  • Preparing reports, drawings, and other documentation related to the project

  • Checking structures adhere to building codes, regulations, and safety standards

  • Identifying potential hazards and designing systems to mitigate them

    Experience required:

  • Four to eight years structural engineering/design experience although they are open to candidates outside of this range

  • Degree in structural or civil engineering

  • Ideally be chartered or in the process of gaining chartership

  • Ideally have structural experience on a range of materials including concrete, steel, masonry, timber

  • Experience in hand calculations

  • Experience with various relevant software packages such as Tekla, Revit

    There are a wide range of benefits on offer, including a competitive salary, pension and bonus scheme. They have a culture of mentorship and personal development where the senior team members sit with the less experienced team members to fast-track their development and leaning. Another example of this is that they support engineers through chartership which has led to historically high pass rates relative to the sector.

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.

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.
