Start Your Career in Robotics & Manufacturing

Interested in how things are built? Love technology, engineering, or working hands-on? Looking for a role where you can learn real skills and build a long-term career?

Our client is looking for a Manufacturing & Production Trainee to join their growing workshop team in Bristol, helping build cutting-edge robotic camera systems used in film and TV productions around the world.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone at the start of their career who is practical, curious, and eager to learn. You don’t need previous experience — they’ll provide full training — but you do need a positive attitude, good attention to detail, and a genuine interest in engineering and manufacturing.

About the Company

They create innovative robotic technology for the film and television industry. They are the creators of the AGITO robotic dolly system and are recognised as global leaders in robotic camera movement.

Their team combines engineering, filmmaking, technology, and innovation to build products used on major productions worldwide. They’re a fast-growing company with ambitious plans and a collaborative, hands-on culture.

What You’ll Be Doing

Working alongside an experienced manufacturing team, you’ll be trained to support:

  • Preparing parts and kits for assembly
  • Product assembly using hand and power tools
  • Mechanical and electrical sub-assembly work
  • Testing and quality control checks
  • Updating stock and production systems
  • General workshop and production support
  • No two days are the same, and you’ll gain exposure to a wide variety of practical engineering and manufacturing tasks.

You will do 4 long days Mon – Thurs, with an early finish on Friday.

What We’re Looking For

We’re more interested in attitude and potential than previous experience. The ideal person will be:

  • Keen to learn and develop new skills
  • Interested in engineering, robotics, manufacturing, or technology
  • Practical and hands-on
  • A strong team player with good communication skills
  • Organised, reliable, and willing to get stuck in
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
  • Experience isn’t required — full training will be provided.

Why Join?

  • Learn valuable hands-on manufacturing and engineering skills
  • Work on exciting robotics products used in film and TV
  • Join a supportive and experienced team
  • Genuine opportunities for long-term career progression
  • Be part of a growing technology business with big ambitions
  • This role is based at their Yate workshop in Bristol, working 7.5 hours per day with some flexibility around working times.

What’s on Offer?

  • 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Private Health Care options
  • Team days, cake & cuppa monthly meet ups
  • Off road parking
  • Bonus profit scheme
  • Annual pay reviews

As part of the interview process, shortlisted candidates will complete a practical skills assessment.

This isn’t a pass/fail test — it simply helps to understand your starting point and how they can support your development.

What’s Next?

If you have the enthusiasm and drive to be successful, we would love to hear from you. APPLY NOW for immediate consideration.

Where to Advertise Medical Technology Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise medical technology jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and MDR/IEC 62304-aware channels that reach biomedical and medtech talent. The medtech candidate pool spans biomedical engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical scientists, software engineers working within IEC 62304 and MDR frameworks, imaging scientists and commercial professionals with deep healthcare sector knowledge. General job boards consistently conflate medical technology with broader healthcare, pharmaceutical and IT roles — producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist medtech positions. This guide, published by MedicalTechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise medical technology roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Medical Technology Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK medtech hiring over the next three years — devices, diagnostics and digital health. Medical technology is one of those rare sectors where commercial ambition and genuine human impact point in exactly the same direction. The devices, diagnostics, digital health platforms, and AI-powered clinical tools that medical technology companies develop do not just generate revenue — they extend lives, reduce suffering, and change what is possible inside the clinical encounter. That combination of purpose and commercial scale makes the medical technology jobs market one of the most compelling in the entire UK life sciences and technology landscape. And that market is changing faster than at any previous point in the sector's history. The integration of artificial intelligence into diagnostic imaging, pathology, and clinical decision support has moved from research demonstration to regulatory approval and NHS deployment. Wearable and implantable devices are generating continuous patient data at a scale that is transforming how chronic conditions are monitored and managed. Digital therapeutics — software that delivers clinically validated therapeutic interventions — have emerged as a recognised product category with its own regulatory pathway. Surgical robotics has moved from a premium offering at a handful of specialist centres to a mainstream surgical platform whose capabilities are expanding with each generation. For job seekers, the medical technology jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is both broader and more technically demanding than it was three years ago. The roles being created now span a wider range of disciplines, require a more sophisticated understanding of the intersection between technology and clinical practice, and carry higher regulatory expectations than the medtech jobs of even a short time ago. This article breaks down what the UK medical technology jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve in one of the most consequential sectors in the UK economy.
