This is a truly exciting opportunity as the Fabrication division has grown from strength to strength over the last 3 years, now housing circa 10 highly talented TIG Welders, that manufacture complex components for high profile customers who operate within predominantly the Oil & Gas, Defence and Nuclear industries.

This division has received consistent investment including new technology, equipment, and most recently its own dedicated premises.

Traditionally the business developed it’s reputation as being a market leading, award winning precision engineering company that typically machined intricate, medium sized detailed components but more recently they have developed an additional arm to the business - Welding & Fabrication.

The business is going from strength to strength through new client wins and existing customers placing new orders, presenting a fascinating yet challenging time.

As a result of this, our client is seeking a talented engineer who possesses a strong Fabrication & Welding background, who has ran Fabrication &/or Welding teams, and who is looking for a new career where you can have the autonomy to help grow the division to new heights.

Within this role, you will be responsible for delivering projects to globally recognised customers that operate within the Oil & Gas, Nuclear and Defence industries.

  • Responsible for reviewing, planning and managing the execution of all technical welding activities

  • Identifying and developing new weld procedures as required by project, including management of sourcing equipment, materials and resource

  • Ensuring sufficient resource is available and qualified to perform required welding tasks, this also includes ensuring revalidation of welder qualifications is performed in line with code or client requirements

  • Monitoring performance of welding activities on a monthly basis and developing actions plans for continuous improvement

  • Developing instruction to staff through method statements or tool box talks to ensure a right first time approach is implemented

  • Supporting quality or project teams with technical queries or issues found relating to welding, this may include contributing to 8D, Ishikawa, 5 whys and FMEA reviews

    Essential Qualifications & Experience:

  • Ideally a HNC in welding & fabrication or a closely related discipline along with relevant experience

  • Responsible Welding Coordinator (RWC) certification

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.
