If you value clarity, precision, and the opportunity to work on technically challenging projects, Blue Leaf offers a focused and supportive environment to do just that.
Role Description
Blue Leaf Composites is hiring a Graduate Engineer to support a range of composite design, manufacturing process, and software development projects. These include the design of composite structures including wind blades and the development of digital toolsets to support manufacturing and quality management processes.
