Are you a skilled Welder who loves working on challenging projects, not just production lines?

If you take pride in your welds, enjoy variety, and want to be part of a team that builds and repairs tooling for some of the most advanced manufacturing in the UK, this is one worth looking at.

You’ll be joining a world class aerospace manufacturer with a proper in house toolroom and forge, where heavy industry meets high precision. The work is cleanly run but gritty. An organised, safety led workshop with the smell of oil, steel and hard graft in the air.

They’re growing fast, investing heavily in new kit, and adding new talent to strengthen their team. You’ll be surrounded by experienced Toolmakers and Engineers who are happy to share their knowledge and support your development.

Job Title: Welder

Location: Redditch, Worcestershire

Hours: 9-day fortnight

Week 1: Monday–Friday, 06:00–14:00

Week 2: Monday–Thursday, 14:00–00:00 (Fridays off)

Pay & Benefits:

·         £17.00 per hour + £50.05 weekly shift allowance (≈ £1.32/hr extra)

·         1.5× overtime after 38 hours / Saturdays

·         2× overtime on Sundays

·         25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays

·         Pension (3% employer / 5% employee)

·         Production & attendance bonuses

·         Perkbox rewards scheme

Compliance & Screening

As part of working in a regulated aerospace environment, successful candidates will be asked to complete standard compliance checks, including:

·         HMRC right-to-work verification

·         5-year traceable work history (employment or references)

·         Drug & alcohol screening

·         And, depending on the work area, a DBS or enhanced security check

These checks are arranged directly by the employer later in the process, so you won’t need to complete them during the initial application stage. (Please note applications without traceable employment history cannot be progressed.)

Your Responsibilities

·         Perform MIG, TIG, and ARC welding on dies, clip tools, and fabricated tooling.

·         Carry out heat treatment on dies as part of the repair and refurbishment process.

·         Operate and maintain welding equipment and assist with fabrication and fitting work in the toolroom.

·         Run the robotic MIG welder once trained (bespoke system – full training provided).

·         Work collaboratively with Toolmakers and Engineers to support production and tooling repair schedules.

·         Ensure all work meets internal quality standards and is fully documented for audit purposes.

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience as a Welder – ideally with MIG as your core process, plus TIG/ARC exposure.

Background in heavy manufacturing, aerospace, or tooling environments preferred.

Ability to interpret engineering drawings and work accurately to tight tolerances.

Willingness to learn and operate the robotic MIG welder (training provided).

Recruitment Process

To apply, simply upload your CV below or contact Josh Whitmore on (phone number removed) or .

All applicants will first have a brief pre screening call, followed by a video call with Your Recruiters.  We like to meet everyone face to face (virtually or in person) before putting you forward. It’s our way of getting to know you properly, understanding what you’re looking for, and making sure the role fits your goals.

Successful candidates will then be invited to a 1 stage interview and site tour.

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.
