Materials Engineer has become available with one of the world’s leading manufacturers of machinery and bespoke systems. As a metallurgical/materials engineer, you will partner with and provide technical guidance to other teams. You should have the ability to gather relevant information, compare data, identify relationships, and predict failures. Your decisions may affect the work group, project team, suppliers, and multiple units, impacting warranty, cost, customer perception, sales, and technology leverage.

You will support manufacturing facilities across the UK and Europe, investigating various materials in multiple applications and resolving issues related to design or manufacturing. Responsibilities include ensuring design acceptance, supporting the adoption of new technologies, planning testing procedures, and monitoring process performance and reliability.

This role requires contributing to the identification, analysis, and resolution of materials engineering needs. The engineer will perform complex analysis, work directly with units, suppliers, and customers, and communicate technical information clearly. Decisions made can significantly impact product performance, quality, reliability, warranty, costs, sales, and customer perception.

The position is initially a 12-month contract, likely to become long-term and ongoing, based in Peterborough. The rate is £34.00 to £37.00 per hour (DOE) under FCSA Umbrella; PAYE options (£22 - £25 per hour) are also available.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to work independently and possess expertise in areas such as:

* Failure analysis for metallic and non-metallic materials
* Laboratory or comparable industry experience

* Corrosion testing

This is a fully site-based role in Peterborough, working 5 days per week. Please apply for further details.
