AI generated summary

  • You need a 2:2 degree or higher in Engineering/STEM, hands-on problem-solving skills, and a passion for manufacturing. Previous experience and UK residency for Security Clearance are essential.
  • You will train operatives, monitor processes, investigate defects, implement improvements, write instructions, manage equipment performance, support new projects, and analyze root causes.

Requirements

  • All of our roles require (a) a minimum of a 2 2 Bachelors/Integrated Master’s degree, or (b) a higher degree, such as a MSc or PhD. Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering or similar degrees are ideal but other STEM degrees will be considered when combined with relevant skills and interests.
  • We are looking for someone with a combined engineering skillset, who is capable of supporting manufacturing – learning to solve hands-on problems with high-value components, manufacturing processes and equipment – but is also adept at office based data analysis, documentation and communication.
  • This skillset would likely be demonstrated by qualifications in Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering – but equally, any STEM degree combined with relevant hobbies/interests that can demonstrate the skillset required would also be suitable. For example, if your hobbies include any “hands-on” activities such as restoring/fixing electro-mechanical machines, model making, fixing cars, repairing electronics, building musical instruments etc. and you have a STEM degree then we would be interested in hearing from you.
