We’re looking for a motivated technical specialist to join our team. Our technical team plays a crucial role in enriching the student experience. 

You will work in our student workshop teaching and supervising our undergraduate students. You will provide technical support for both teaching and 澳门资料 activities. You could be making parts for a student racing car one day or working with 澳门资料ers to build an artificial knee the next. 

You’ll use conventional machine tools (milling machines, lathes, etc) as well as CNC machines for more complex machining requirements. You will contribute to the teaching and supervision of undergraduates in the use of machine/hand tools and during final year individual 澳门资料 projects. You’ll also provide skills in welding/fabrication in steel, stainless steel and aluminium together with bench fitting and assembly.
