Specialist Technician (Learning & Teaching) 3D Workshops; Metal and Fabrication

Would you like to work in a professionally equipped metal workshop, with a senior metal fabrication technician where you could help students make almost anything?

We have a brilliant metal fabrication workshop where we offer: MIG & TIG welding, steel fabrication, sheet work, and light engineering. We also have a small provision for digital fabrication through 3D printing dies and a water jet cutter.

Your ability to expand this digital offer and help us grow our facility and offer of skills is highly desirable. We have a large student demand to support kinetic work and skills in this area are also highly desirable.
