ABOUT THE ROLE

The Black Country Innovative Manufacturing Organisation (BCIMO) is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee and the driving force behind a new state-of-the-art research and development facility based in Dudley in the West Midlands.

BCIMO's role is to work with organisations large and small - innovators, academia, policy makers and government departments - to deliver projects that will help shape and accelerate future industries, with four interdependent areas of activity focused on the development of:

• Innovative / low-cost _technologies_ for the whole of the rail sector as well as other new and emerging markets.
• Manufacturing _supply chains_, here in the UK, and specifically in the Black Country / wider West Midlands.
• Skilled _workforces_ to manufacture, implement and operate these technologies, again in the Black Country / wider West Midlands.
• New and emerging _markets_, both in the UK and overseas.

This role will play a key part in helping build a West Midlands SME community through working with innovative SMEs to deliver engaging innovation programmes, developing new propositions that challenge the market and creating a community of SMEs across our core sectors that drive innovation.

We are looking for individuals who are pro-active and highly motivated with a proven track-record of delivering success and the ability to get things done working both independently and within a team.
