Where will I be working?
This role is based out of one of our main sites in New Mills near Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire.

Alternatively, applicants should be willing to relocate to the local area.

We're looking for students who are currently undertaking a relevant degree such as Materials Engineering, Materials Science, Biomedical Materials or Materials Chemistry or Physics.
Training and development is excellent so candidates with no experience but a keen interest in materials science will be strongly considered.
