The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity to start your career in a hands on Mechanical Apprenticeship within our production and engineering team.
Youll be based on site, working alongside experienced engineers and technicians who will support you as you learn how to maintain and improve our industrial, manufacturing equipment and infrastructure across the site.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys practical work, problem solving and understanding how machinery and mechanical systems work.
Youll spend most of your time on site, working alongside experienced engineers and technicians who want to see you succeed. They will show you how our equipment works, how to maintain it and how to fix issues when they happen, but your curiosity and willingness to get involved will be what helps you grow quickly.
You will gain real industry experience, a recognised qualification and the chance to build a long term career in a growing and innovative sector.

Youll learn how to work safely in an engineering environment, follow planned maintenance routines and support with fixing breakdowns when they occur.

You will get hands on experience inspecting mechanical systems, carrying out preventative maintenance and support with fixing mechanical breakdowns when they happen.

Who you are

You will enjoy working in a practical environment and have a keen interest in how machines and mechanical systems work.

You are naturally curious and like asking questions so you can learn and improve. You notice small details that others might miss, and that skill will help you succeed when inspecting equipment and supporting maintenance tasks.

You feel confident following clear processes and instructions, especially when it comes to safety, and you understand the importance of keeping yourself and others safe at work.

Most importantly, you are motivated, eager to learn and ready to build a long term career in engineering.

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

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
