Our client
Our client is part of a global technology group and one of the world's leading makers of high-tech manufacturing equipment. Its systems are used to produce components for a vast array of industries, and its customers include some of the biggest names in electronics.
The UK operation is the group's centre of excellence for advanced production equipment. It designs, builds and supports high-precision systems used in sensors, power electronics, communications and other cutting-edge technologies. It combines the stability and investment of a multinational with the close-knit, hands-on feel of a site where engineers see their work go from concept to customer.
The role
This is a new, varied role in a multi-disciplined engineering team. The team makes sure complex production equipment is designed, built, installed and running at customer facilities around the world.
You'll split your time between the factory in South Wales and customer sites in Europe, North America and the Far East. At home you'll help develop, build and improve the equipment. On site you'll be the technical expert who installs it, commissions it, diagnoses problems and reports what you learn to the design team.
To begin with, you'll travel alongside an experienced colleague. As your knowledge grows, you'll lead installations on your own.
