Read from the source, not self-reported
Every number on this page can be traced to a page we crawled or a posting we read. Full methodology →
- Job postingsRead hourly from the applicant tracking systems behind company career sites, with portals filling the gaps. Reposts collapse into one record; a role closes when the company closes it.
- Function and familyRole tree v2: every title classified into a function and a family, in every language.
- LocationThe posting's stated location, normalised to city and country. This page counts roles located in United Kingdom.
- ExclusionsJob boards, directories and aggregators are kept out of company lists; staffing firms stay in only for their own hiring.
Engineering (non-software) hiring in United Kingdom: questions
What counts as a engineering (non-software) role?
A posting classified into the engineering (non-software) function by our role tree (v2), whatever the title says. "Account Executive", "Vertriebsmitarbeiter" and "SDR" all land in the same function, then in a family such as civil and structural engineering.
Why is United Kingdom the posting's country, not the company's?
This page counts roles located in United Kingdom. A US company hiring in Berlin counts; a British company hiring in Paris does not. Company pages show the reverse view.
How fresh is it?
Career systems are checked hourly, so a role usually shows up the same day it opens and disappears the day it closes. Reposts collapse into one record.
Can I get the hiring manager?
Yes. For each company, the person the new hires report to, with a verified e-mail. The first 15 companies are on this page; the rest, and a weekly feed of new engineering (non-software) hiring in United Kingdom, is in the product.
