Expire in: a month
Role: Fractional CTO - Industrial Automation
Location: Nottingham, East Midlands
Working Arrangement: 1–2 Days/Week – Hybrid
Salary: £350 - £600 per day
Shape the technical leadership of a high-growth engineering venture.
We’re working with a cutting-edge UK company developing complex, high-value industrial hardware. Their product bridges mechanical, software, and robotic disciplines - so they’re seeking a Fractional CTO to help guide their multidisciplinary R&D and engineering teams as the business scales.
This is a leadership/facilitation role - not a technical deep dive.
The ideal person will be able to empower the senior technical team, ensure cohesion across engineering and product streams, and help shape the roadmap. Experience leading robotics or mechatronic R&D teams, especially in capital equipment, would be a major plus, although an engineering leader from deep-tech, industrial machinery or automotive backgrounds may be considered (both mechanical and software engineering must have come under your remit in previous roles).
Key requirements:
* Experience leading software/mechanical/robotics engineering teams
* Background in complex R&D programmes for capital-intensive products
* Strong communicator and facilitator of high-performing technical teams
* Available to be onsite in the UK East Midlands c.50% of the time
This is an ideal opportunity for a technical leader who prefers working through influence, context, and structure - rather than architecture reviews or deep technical intervention. Your role will be to guide the team and ensure projects are delivered using a combination of your people, stakeholder management and technical expertise. You'll play a key supporting role to the founder, essentially sitting between him and the technical teams, freeing him up to take the business forwards whilst you take ownership over the delivery of both commercial customer solutions and R&D projects.
On offer is a day rate of between £350 - £600 per day - though the remuneration will be flexible depending on the exact nature of the engagement.
Please apply or get in touch to discuss further.
We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect, regardless of background
