What do you reckon the best reason for a job vacancy coming up is? Based on another internal promotion in this team alone, you’ll be coming in as a Metallurgist working for a business supplying a massive range of industries across aerospace, O&G, nuclear, marine and more.

Essentially, you’ll work with the sales and production team to manage, monitor and advise on hot material conversion for each customer by using your expertise and understanding of complex alloys (specifically nickel, titanium and iron in this case) and their behaviours under certain environmental factors i.e. pressure and temperature.

You’ll have the opportunity to work with open and closed die forgings so an understanding of both would be really beneficial for you, or if you’re keen to learn about the one you don’t know, you’ll get all the training you need to get yourself up to scratch. If you’ve never actually forged before either, they’re not averse to training on that so long as you have experience with hot metal – you don’t see that many places so flexible on the level of experience someone can bring.

Obviously, you’ll be preparing and documenting production routes/contract reviews for each component while considering ways to optimise and improve processes to reduce costs moving forward. You’ll have a good understanding of quality standards and will also be responsible for investigating non-conformances as they crop up.

Given the growth trajectory they’re on and the historic promotions and developmental pathways that other people in this team have seen, if you’re keen to see scope for progression then it’d be an interesting one for you to explore. In an ideal world, if you’ve experience in aerospace it’s be great, but as you can probably already tell, they’re pretty flexible. Salary wise, they’re looking up to around the £45k mark with possible flex for the right person, and given the scope of opportunities it will present, that will increase as your influence across the business does and you’d be based at their site in Sheffield.
