The Mechanical Reliability Engineer will apply technical knowledge to deliver continuous improvement in process and asset reliability through the detection and elimination of defects. In this role, you will apply techniques such as Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), Preventative Maintenance (PM) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA). The role involves close collaboration with technical and operational teams to implement Cargill's Reliability and Maintenance Excellence practices.

Additionally, the engineer ensures all projects align with core reliability principles and oversees the execution of maintenance and asset replacement initiatives. A strong foundation in mechanical engineering is essential to provide robust support across the site.

Responsibilities:
  • Implement moderately complex reliability excellence activities and identify and prioritize reliability engineering value creation opportunities.
  • Execute the development, design and installation of predictive and preventative maintenance programs and technology in alignment with the area procedures.
  • Prepare technical reviews of moderately complex projects and collaborate with related areas on new equipment reliability specifications.
  • Execute maintenance and reliability projects, including asset reliability improvements, defect elimination, and the replacement of various types of process equipment such as piping, pumps, heat exchangers and vessels by applying comprehensive knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and best practices in maintenance and reliability.
  • Perform the identification and elimination of bad actors and the optimization of equipment availability.
  • Collaborate with and provide guidance to maintenance repairs and production in reliability related processes and the identification of critical spares.
  • Independently solve moderately complex issues with minimal supervision, while escalating more complex issues to appropriate staff.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering subject - in place of a degree (HNC/HND) and demonstrated relevant work experience.
  • Experience from a heavy industrial processing background (e.g. Chemicals, Biofuels).
  • Solid knowledge in the application of reliability tools.
  • Knowledge in maintenance process management.
  • Project management experience.
  • Experience creating complex tests and analysis.
  • Predictive maintenance technologies experience.

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.
