Description
The High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC) is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Rolls-Royce.

The facility will enable a halving of the lead-time for the design & make of turbine components; develop novel techniques to enable futuredesign styles and manufacturing systems and accelerate cost reduction & casting yield improvement activities.

This is a chance to work within a co-located design and manufacturing engineering team within the HTRC and in close collaboration with a wide rangeof research engineers from the relevant academic fields.

Working in partnership with Consilium Recruit they are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer.


You will conduct research and improvement activities related to the design and manufacture of turbine components as well as support the day to day running of manufacturing process.


You will work within our co-located design and manufacturing engineering teams within the HTRC and in close collaboration with a wide range of researchers from the relevant academic fields.

Manufacturing engineers are responsible for the method of manufacture that delivers component requirements and support both process engineering and project delivery tasks.

Whilst an engineer may have a particular process or project focus they will be able tosupport both functions. This role has a focus on process engineering associated with manufacture of ceramic shells used in Turbine Component Manufacturing.
