Join a global leader in storage handling solutions, renowned for its cutting-edge auto storage retrieval systems. With a diverse range of products implemented across numerous countries, our company consistently enhances efficiency in storage, whether in ambient or cold storage environments. We are seeking to augment our Engineering team by introducing a Design Engineer. As a Design Engineer, you will spearhead multiple design projects, from conceptualisation and drawing creation to full design approval. Collaborating closely with Production, your role will ensure seamless support throughout the manufacturing and testing phases, guaranteeing top-tier quality and on-time delivery.

As a Design Engineer, you will develop design solutions that surpass customer expectations in terms of cost, quality, and schedule adherence. You will meet designated schedules and budgets for all assigned work, thoroughly research and comprehend internal and external specifications and regulatory requirements, generate 3D designs (using SolidWorks) and manufacturing drawings to bolster the company's product range, create detailed on-site installation drawings, and develop comprehensive procedures for subcontracted teams involved in the installation process. Additionally, you will perform engineering calculations and analyses to ensure compliance with equipment specifications, create and update build procedures in alignment with company standards, seamlessly integrate intricate hydraulic, electrical, and electronic systems into mechanical designs, compile comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOMs) for Procurement Departments, Production and Installation teams, and adhere strictly to company protocols for Design, Documentation, Engineering Change Management, and Production flow. Although the primary focus of the job involves computer-based tasks, occasional hands-on involvement may be required. The role is predominantly located in Clontibret; however, there may be occasional travel requirements to sites for confirming measurements and installing new systems. You will also provide engineering and technical support to Production, Sales, and After-Sales Departments, support product testing both at the factory and on-site, participate in customer meetings, and ensure strict compliance with our ISO 9001 Quality Management System and company health and safety procedures.

To succeed in this role, you will need proficiency in SolidWorks and AutoCAD, prior experience with PDM and ERP systems, and knowledge of workshop equipment, such as lathes and mills, and the ability to design such equipment. Essential skills include proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel, the capability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment, self-motivation with excellent time management and prioritisation skills, strong verbal and written communication skills, the ability to thrive under pressure while maintaining a team-player attitude, and the ability to foster positive relationships with suppliers.

In return, we offer an attractive salary (negotiable depending on experience), access to the company pension scheme, private medical insurance (after 12 months), service rewards, on-and off-the-job training depending on skills and qualifications, and the opportunity to work in a wide range of industries. The job is full-time (40 hours per week) with flexible working hours: Monday - Thursday 8:15 - 17:30, Friday - 8:15 - 15:00. The work location is in person (no remote).

UAV Jobs in the UK Public Sector: Opportunities in Defence, Infrastructure, and Healthcare

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)—also referred to as drones—have evolved from niche military hardware into versatile tools spanning multiple industries. Whether they are carrying out surveillance for national security, delivering medical supplies in remote areas, or inspecting critical infrastructure, UAVs have quickly become indispensable in both civilian and government applications. In the United Kingdom, the public sector has increasingly embraced this technology, driven by its potential to enhance operational efficiency, reduce risk to personnel, and improve service delivery. As a result, UAV jobs in the UK’s public sector are expanding, offering a wide range of career opportunities for engineers, pilots, data analysts, policy experts, and more. Working in these roles can mean contributing directly to the safety of local communities, helping modernise public services, or safeguarding national interests through advanced surveillance. And beyond the satisfaction of supporting public missions, these positions often come with stable funding, structured career pathways, and the chance to work on ground-breaking projects in collaboration with leading research institutions and industry partners. In this extensive guide, we’ll explore the importance of UAVs for government bodies, highlight the major public sector organisations driving UAV adoption, outline the typical roles and skill sets required, and walk you through the process of securing a UAV job that can have real-world impact. By the end, you’ll have a comprehensive view of how to leverage your interest or expertise in drones to build a fulfilling career in the UK public sector.

Contract vs Permanent UAV Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)—commonly referred to as drones—are fast becoming indispensable in industries from construction and agriculture to filming, logistics, and defence. Advances in sensor technology, autonomous flight, and data analytics enable UAVs to capture critical insights, streamline operations, and revolutionise existing workflows. As a result, the UK UAV job market has exploded with opportunities for pilot operators, aeronautical engineers, data analysts, and entrepreneurs. Amid this rapid expansion, UAV professionals face a crucial choice: Should they work as day‑rate contractors, sign fixed-term contracts, or go permanent? Which arrangement promises higher pay in 2025, and what does each model imply for job security, skills development, and career progression? This comprehensive guide unpacks the pros, cons, and earning potential of contract vs. permanent UAV roles, providing sample scenarios to illustrate real-world take‑home pay. Whether your expertise lies in flight control systems, mission planning, embedded software, or UAV data processing, read on to discover which employment path best aligns with your financial goals and professional ambitions.

UAV & Drone Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Drones Need More Than Joystick Skills From Royal Mail trials on Scottish islands to BT’s drone‑enabled mobile towers, unmanned‑aircraft systems (UAS) are scaling fast across the United Kingdom. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) data show over 9,200 commercial drone operator permits (OA/PDRA) in force by January 2025—up 34 % year‑on‑year. PwC’s Skies Without Limits 2.0 forecasts that by 2030 drones could deliver £45 billion in UK economic uplift and 650,000 jobs. Yet adverts often focus on remote pilots and aeronautical engineers. The reality? 41 % of drone‑sector vacancies highlight operations, compliance, sales or programme management rather than stick‑time or soldering (UK Drone Industry Barometer 2024). Whether you’re skilled at logistics, regulatory affairs or storytelling, there’s a seat for you in the cockpit—without logging 1,000 flight hours. This guide explains the fastest‑growing non‑coding, non‑pilot roles, the transferable expertise you may already possess, authentic transition stories and a 90‑day plan to launch your UAV career.
