    Carrying out materials testing internally and externally, including liaison with third-party labs



    Maintaining and organising lab equipment, tools and facilities



    Working in accordance with international material and engineering standards



    Assisting with wider engineering and technical activities as required



    Travelling occasionally in the UK and internationally to monitor field tests (typically no more than three overseas trips per year)

    About You



    Degree in Materials Science or Mechanical Engineering



    Up to 4 years' experience in a laboratory or R&D environment



    Strong IT skills and a natural affinity for technology



    Able to work independently and deliver accurate, high-quality results



    Exceptional attention to detail



    Proactive, motivated and eager to learn



    Adaptable and able to respond to changing priorities



    UK work permit essential



    Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle



    Willingness to travel occasionally for testing and project support

    Why Apply?



    Work for a global engineering innovator



    Join a specialist team with real technical depth



    See your work applied directly to market-leading industrial products



    Brilliant opportunity for professional growth in materials engineering


    If you're an ambitious graduate or early-career engineer looking to build a long-term career in materials science within a truly international engineering environment, we'd love to hear from you.
