You will perform a varied range of activities within this challenging role including testing the physical and mechanical properties of the materials used utilising a wide variety of techniques, and will be responsible for all aspects of project preparation and planning as well as the creation of associated technical reports and the review and vetting of external specifications, hence the necessity of excellent verbal and written communication abilities. Additionally you will prepare specimens, analyse and report on results and undertake a range of exercises that will develop further understanding and exploration of composite materials and their structures.
