"This is a very exciting and challenging opportunity... and an essential appointment for us as we continue to lead the industry in producing forward thinking, technology driven engineering systems. We need someone who has a background in data analysis and testing... someone who can use data for troubleshooting and aid decision making... it really is the perfect job for an engineer who enjoys using data to improve engineering systems..."

Location:
This role is based in the West Midlands with easy commutable locations including Wolverhampton, Stafford, Telford, Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Birmingham, Walsall, Cannock and other local areas - West Midlands.

The Role:
Joining the Technical Engineering Projects division at an award winning and industry leading engineering manufacturer, you will play a vital role working closely with customers to remedy engineering problems, ensure efficient engineering performance and problem solve technical issues using advanced data analysis, testing and experimentation.

This role is unique and offers a challenging but highly rewarding career to the successful engineer.

Using your skills either as a mechanical, electrical, electronic or multiskilled degree qualified engineer, your core function will be to support the integration of engineering systems into customer's plants and manufacturing facilities; and use data analysis, data reports and similar documentation to drive your decision making and recommendations.

The environment you'd work within is not too dissimilar to that of a scientific, research, laboratory, engineering testing, chemical dosing, liquid transfer, high precision machining, medical, electronic or similar clean engineering set up.

This role pays an industry leading salary alongside one the best remuneration packages available in UK industry. Apply now for immediate interview consideration.

Candidate Requirements:
You will be a degree qualified engineer who can demonstrate experience in a role that has used data analysis, testing and troubleshooting to guide and lead decision making.

You will have strong communication skills and be someone who can build relationships with customers in order to help understand their specific engineering requirements; and subsequently offer them the best possible solution based on your test findings.

This role occupies a globally recognised and thriving industry but in quite a niche engineering sector; engineers who are currently thriving in this team have come from scientific, engineering testing, laboratory, medical, chemical dosing, materials science, electronic, mechanical, automation / PLC and data driven testing environments.

We offer industry leading product training and a 3-6 month development plan that will make you an expert in this field. For this reason, this role would ideally suit a recent graduate with a few years experience OR a well experienced degree level engineer who has used data analysis to form their engineering decision making.

This is without doubt a "career defining" job for the right candidate. If the above sounds like "you" and you're wanting a job that pays industry leading earnings and offers career paths that surpass all others, don't miss out on this "once in a career permanent job opportunity".

How Many UAV Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a UAV Job?

If you’re aiming for a role in the Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry, it can feel like every job advert expects you to know a never-ending list of tools: flight control systems, autopilot frameworks, simulation platforms, sensor suites, communication stacks, mission planning software, GIS tools — and on it goes. With so many names and acronyms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and assume you must learn every tool under the sun before you’ll be taken seriously by employers. Here’s the honest truth most UAV hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real UAV problems safely, reliably and in context. Tools matter — absolutely — but they always serve a purpose: solving problems, reducing risk, improving performance, or guiding safer operations. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know — it’s: which tools you should master, in what context, and why. This article breaks down what employers actually expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look credible, confident and job-ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in UAV Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re aiming for roles in UAV design, robotics/controls engineering, autonomy & computer vision, flight test & certification, embedded systems, operations, ground control software, systems integration or regulatory compliance, the way you present yourself in an application can make or break your chances — and that often happens before the hiring manager reads past your first few lines. In the UK UAV/jobs market, recruiters and hiring managers scan applications rapidly. They look for relevant experience, measurable delivery, technical credibility, domain awareness and safety/regulatory understanding — often making a decision within the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in UAV applications, why those signals matter, and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you get noticed — not filtered out.

The Skills Gap in UAV Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) — commonly known as drones — are among the fastest-growing technologies globally. From infrastructure inspection and agriculture to emergency response, surveying, logistics and defence, UAVs are transforming how organisations gather data, deliver services and improve efficiency. In the UK, demand for UAV professionals is increasing rapidly. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with engineering, robotics or aerospace backgrounds, employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not ready for real UAV jobs. This is not a reflection of intelligence or academic effort. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in the UAV sector. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities do well, where programmes fall short, why the divide exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build a successful career in UAVs.
