The Company

The business has a 40 year trading history with over 700 employees internationally working across the energy, power and a wide number of other industrial engineering sectors.  

The business delivers high value bespoke engineering projects with specially manufactured mechanical systems supported by large scale mechanical structures, frames and enclosures to support and house the systems.

The UK office has grown incredibly from a new business several years ago to now employing more than 30 staff as they continue to win exciting new projects and break into new industrial engineering sectors.

Due to their growth they are now recruiting for a Structural Engineer who will be responsible for carrying out all the verification and calculations for the large fabricated support structures on projects.  If you’re looking for a role where you’re involved from conceptual design using engineering first principles then please apply line for speedy consideration.

The Role

As a Structural Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the structural integrity of steel structures across multiple products. Working closely with the mechanical design team and international colleagues, you will ensure all structures meet relevant design codes and client specifications.

This is role has a strong focus on analysis rather than CAD design. Ideal for someone who enjoys solving structural problems and working across a broad range of engineered products.

What you’ll be doing:

Carrying out structural calculations for frames, beams, columns and fabricated assemblies
Working to Eurocodes, ASCE and international standards
Using structural analysis tools (Autodesk Robot or similar)
Validating designs from the CAD team
Producing technical reports and specs
Liaising with project engineers and overseas colleagues
Occasional UK and international site visits (expenses covered)
The Candidate

Experience in structural analysis for steel structures
Highly competent in carrying out mechanical structural first principal calculations such as bending moments, beam calculations, force, stress and strain calcuations
Knowledge of international codes and standards
Degree qualified in an engineering discipline
Open to occasional travel
The benefits:

£40k–£55k (more for senior-level experience)

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.

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.
