You’ll work closely with industry partners, academics, researchers and interns, ensuring that specialist equipment and processes are operated safely, accurately and effectively, while contributing technical expertise to help deliver high-quality outcomes.
About You
You will be a technically skilled and hands-on engineering professional, ideally having completed an Engineering Apprenticeship or holding an equivalent technical qualification. You bring practical experience from a related engineering environment and are confident working across a broad range of equipment and processes — from materials testing and characterisation to fabrication, additive manufacturing, automation and electronics.
You will have strong problem-solving ability and sound technical judgement, able to make effective, cost-aware decisions when supporting complex industrial and research activity. Your communication skills will enable you to work closely with academics, project teams, external partners and visitors, ensuring their needs are understood and delivered to a high standard.
Adaptable and highly organised, you will thrive in a varied environment where priorities can change quickly. You’re capable of working both independently and as part of a collaborative team, managing your workload to meet deadlines and support multiple stakeholders. Health and safety will be second nature to you — you’ll understand its importance in engineering and be confident guiding others to work safely.
Above all, you will take pride in enabling innovation, supporting world‑class research and helping others achieve exceptional results using high‑quality technical solutions
