The Opportunity

Mechanical Engineers are ace. With an in depth knowledge of all things mechanical and being able to fix anything, these are the true heroes of the engineering world.

But there comes a time where you may be looking to "come off the tools" and use all that knowledge to move in to a slightly different career focus, that of a "surveyor". You've seen these people around - the ones that test and inspect different lifting equipment and make sure everything is working correctly.

On that basis, we are looking to recruit a mechanical professional with lifting equipment experience to forge a long term career for a world leading organisation. A company who invest 10s of thousands into your development in the first year alone, where you manage your own diary with a view to a long term career with constant training and further opportunities.

WOW, what a package! You will easily clear £52k with overtime & car allowance as well as 12% pension, 25 day holiday, bonus & genuine world class training. And this is just the start

The Person

We're open to the person here, but we are looking for a HNC level educated professional with experience of maintaining and servicing lifting equipment & mobile plant (so MEWPs, excavators, lifting tackle, HIABs, powered access etc.).

Most important we want you to want to learn new skills and use your mechanical knowledge to develop a further knowledge in what is very much a career focused role. A role where there will be thousands invested in you, so someone who understands that for the unique opportunity that it is.

Any inspection knowledge or background & LOLER & PUWER would be marvellous too!

The Role

As alluded to, this will take your hands on mechanical knowledge and teach you new skills around more testing and inspection of pressure systems.

Anywhere there are lifting equipment, we will be inspecting them. So the likes of marine, agriculture, manufacturing, power plants, airports. You get the picture! You will manage your own diary and go to different sites, making sure the equipment is safe within.

We don\'t expect you to hit the ground running, training can be anything up to 6 months so a real chance to form new skills in a world renowned company.

The Company

This is working for a certified UK top employer who have a world class reputation for training and developing their staff. A company where there will be huge opportunities and there are countless examples of senior people in the company starting off on this kind of a role.

What next?

If this seems like an opportunity that appeals to you, simply hit apply and we can run through in more detail. Look forward to hearing your story.

Note: This description excludes any irrelevant boilerplate and references not pertinent to the role.

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.
