Technical excellence is at the heart of everything we do, underpinning areas including customer service, production, quality assurance, laboratory management, non-destructive testing and order recruitment.

Metallurgical knowledge is acquired through on the job training. Technical roles are broadly categorised as product development, process development and research.  Some roles being “generalist” and some “specialist” in nature. Whichever remit you favour you will find yourself working alongside Technical, Commercial, Supply Chain and Production colleagues.
