• Monitoring and testing for corrosion;
• Developing ways to improve metals by making them stronger or more adaptable;
• Testing metals to ensure they meet quality and safety standards.

In Physical Metallurgy:

• Assessing the physical structure and behavior of metals;
• Investigating accidents where it is suspected that the cause may be related to metallurgical failure, such as in air crashes;
• Producing reports on research and tests carried out.

In Process Metallurgy:

• Controlling the shaping of metals through casting, rolling, forging and drawing;
• Joining of metals through welding and soldering techniques;
• Designing metal components and prototypes;

Other tasks which may be carried out across the specialisms, to be discussed.

Skills and experience you will need:

• Working towards a degree in metallurgy, materials science/technology or a similar engineering subject is normally necessary.
• Engineers wishing to gain chartered status (CEng) must have a Masters degree accredited by a relevant engineering institution (either a four-year MEng or a BEng/BSc together with an MSc).

You must be comfortable working in confided spaces and happy with frequent international travel. For immediate consideration, please forward your CV to Saskia at Vibe Recruit today.
