    We are seeking a Composite Design Engineer to join our engineering team in Banbury.

    • Interpret drawings and technical specifications to assess and maintain compliance with all requirements. Where necessary, liaise with engineering management and suppliers to determine technical needs.
    • Perform or oversee qualification and development testing using in-house and subcontracted test facilities. Analyse test results to verify component and material performance.
    • Author qualification test procedures and reports.
    • Collaborate with other functions as needed to ensure successful project delivery.
    • Support product lifecycle maintenance activities.
    • Clearly communicate progress on engineering tasks.

    Job Requirements


    Essential Skills:

    • Degree-qualified in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
    • Highly motivated, with the ability to work independently under clear instruction.
    • Capable of analysing and solving new engineering problems using first principles.

    Desirable Skills:

    • Willing to take a hands‑on approach to component development and testing methods.
    • Strong, open, two‑way communication skills.
    • Comfortable working in both office and test‑lab environments.
    • Able to fit into CTG's dynamic and enthusiastic culture, with flexibility around working hours.
    • Knowledge of Polymer Matrix Composites—including different types of resins, fibres, manufacturing techniques, and testing methods—is beneficial but not essential.

    But what else?

    • Competitive salary
    • Company performance bonus scheme
    • Pension scheme – up to 10% employer contribution
    • Private medical insurance
    • Comprehensive health cash plan
    • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
    • Flexible benefits programme (buy & sell holiday allowance, discounted gym memberships, maternity/adoption leave – up to 52 weeks, first 26 weeks at full pay, subsequent 26 weeks at 50% (basic pay); paternity/non‑pregnant parent/co‑adopter leave 4 weeks full pay)
    • Structured training & opportunities to progress
