Automation and Robotics Recruitment

Special Purpose Machinery (SPM)

We support automation and robotics recruitment within special purpose machinery (SPM) environments, working with OEMs and system integrators delivering bespoke, low-volume and highly customised automation solutions. We recruit across permanent, contract and interim requirements, supporting both project delivery and long-term capability build.

Typical candidates include Controls Engineers, Electrical Design Engineers, Mechanical Design Engineers, Automation Engineers and Commissioning Engineers, alongside mechanical and electrical fitters involved in machine build and installation. Many professionals operate across the full machine lifecycle, from concept and design through build, FAT, installation and commissioning.

SPM environments demand multi-disciplinary skillsets, adaptability and strong problem-solving capability. We regularly support clients requiring flexible contract resource to meet delivery deadlines, as well as permanent hires to strengthen core engineering teams.

Robotics & Automated Cells

Our robotics recruitment expertise covers industrial robots, automated cells and robotic workstations deployed across manufacturing, assembly and production environments. We support permanent, contract and interim recruitment, supplying experienced professionals for both new installations and ongoing automation programmes.

We recruit Robotics Engineers, Controls and PLC Engineers, Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Automation Technicians and Commissioning Engineers, alongside mechanical and electrical fitters supporting robotic cell build and integration.

Typical applications include palletising and depalletising systems, machine tending, robotic welding, automated inspection and vision-guided robotics, as well as pick-and-place and assembly operations. Candidates often combine robot programming, safety integration, vision systems and end-of-arm tooling experience with strong controls and electrical capability, enabling seamless integration into wider automated production lines.

This crossover of robotics, controls and mechanical skillsets is critical to delivering reliable, high-performance robotic automation.

Machine Tools & CNC Automation

We support recruitment within machine tool and CNC automation environments, working with OEMs, integrators and end-user manufacturers across precision machining and production operations. Our recruitment services cover permanent and contract roles, supporting both new machine installations and ongoing manufacturing operations.

We recruit professionals with experience across mechanical and electrical design, controls and automation, as well as mechanical and electrical fitters supporting machine build, installation and commissioning. Typical roles include Controls Engineers, Electrical Design Engineers, Mechanical Design Engineers, Automation Engineers and Production Support Engineers, working closely with shopfloor production teams.

Candidates often operate at the interface between automation and manufacturing, supporting CNC machining, metal processing and advanced production environments. This crossover of design, controls and hands-on engineering skillsets is critical to maintaining productivity, accuracy and reliability within modern machine tool operations.

Intralogistics & Material Handling Automation

Our intralogistics recruitment expertise supports automated material handling and internal logistics systems across manufacturing, warehousing and distribution environments. We provide permanent and contract recruitment, supporting both project delivery and long-term operational support in the UK and overseas.

We recruit engineers and specialists with experience across conveyor systems, palletising and depalletising solutions, end-of-line equipment, and high-bay storage and retrieval (ASRS). Typical roles include Controls Engineers, Integration Engineers, WCS Engineers, Automation Engineers, Service Engineers and Resident Engineers, supporting both installation projects and live operational environments.

Candidates often combine PLC and controls expertise with system integration, software interfacing and on-site support experience, enabling high-throughput, mission-critical intralogistics operations to run reliably and efficiently.
