HGV Class 2 Driver / Engineer. Cat C Driver. Bracknell.

We have an exciting role for a Cat C driver that is so much more than just sitting behind a wheel all day. You will be working for an IT service company that specialises in relocating the servers and racking from data centres for major on-line retailers and the like. You will be taught basic engineering to demount the equipment, pack it all safely in boxes, dismantle the racking and then load it all onto to your Cat C lorry.


The equipment will then be relocated and set up again in a new data centre, or placed in storage until needed again.


The ideal candidate will have an eye for detail. You will want to learn new skills and will have strong communication and customer service skills. Most days you will be supported by a driver’s mate.

UAV (Drones) Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK unmanned aviation (UAV/UAS/RPAS) hiring has shifted from aircraft‑type buzzwords to capability‑driven evaluation across flight ops, autonomy, data products, safety & regulatory compliance. Employers want proof you can plan, fly, analyse and scale UAV systems safely and economically—VLOS/A2 CofC, GVC, BVLOS & SORA ops, UTM integrations, command‑and‑control resilience, sense‑and‑avoid, payload pipelines, and fleet reliability. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for UAV pilots/ops managers, flight test engineers, autonomy/perception, GNC/control, UTM/backend, safety & airworthiness, data processing/analysis, and field engineering roles. Who this is for: UAV pilots & flight ops, mission planners, flight test & safety engineers, autonomy/SLAM/perception, GNC/control engineers, embedded/avionics, communications & C2 links, UTM/airspace integrations, data processing (imagery/LiDAR/thermal), GIS/photogrammetry, maintenance & field techs, and programme/product managers in the UK.

Why UAV (Drone) Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have seen rapid adoption across sectors in the UK — agriculture, logistics, inspection, mapping, delivery, search & rescue, environmental monitoring, media, defence, and more. As UAV use proliferates, the roles supporting them are shifting. Modern UAV careers are no longer just about aerodynamics, electronics or autopilot algorithms. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design — because flying machines in public airspace must be safe, trusted, legal, intuitive and well communicated. In this article, we’ll explore why UAV careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with UAV work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to adapt.

UAV Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern UAV Department

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly called drones, are transforming industries across the UK—from agriculture, surveillance, mapping, and inspection to logistics, environmental monitoring, and emergency response. UAV systems combine hardware, embedded systems, controls, autonomy, sensors, communications, regulatory / airworthiness, and operations. As the UAV ecosystem grows, companies need team structures that ensure safety, reliability, regulatory compliance, and operational readiness. If you are applying for UAV roles via UAVJobs.co.uk or building a UAV team, this article will help you understand the roles typical in a modern UAV department, how they collaborate throughout the UAV lifecycle, what skills and qualifications employers expect in the UK, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver capable UAV systems.
