Job description

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Additive Manufacturing Engineer to join our highly‑experienced team. Laser Additive Solutions Ltd is an advanced engineering company that works with a range of sectors and companies, including some well‑known Primes such as Rolls‑Royce, Siemens Energy, MoD, UK Atomic Energy Authority and various UK Universities. We specialise in the following laser processes: metal additive manufacturing, cladding and joining/welding. As an Additive Manufacturing Engineer you will be involved in world‑class research, development and production work for a wide range of organisations.

What you’ll do at work

The role is varied and typically may include (but is not limited to):

• Programming and operations in connection to the 3D metal printer
• Programming the industrial laser systems using CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) software which operates the 6‑axis machinery that completes component repairs and welds new parts
• Putting together project plans, liaising with suppliers and ensuring all work is carried out on time for customers
• Working with customers using online meetings, by phone, email and in person
• Reverse engineering, using non‑contact measuring systems and specialist computer software, to produce electronic models of parts. These then feed into the CAM programming
• Working with metallography lab equipment including a cutting saw, mounting samples, microscopes (and associated software) to produce an image on screen of what each piece of metal looks like
• Compiling material analysis reports for internal and customer use
• Writing and developing documentation linked to our ISO9001 accreditation – including producing instruction sheets and risk assessments
• Producing quotations / proposal bid writing
• There will be some tidying/cleaning expected as part of this role

Desirable Skills/Qualification/Experience

• Proactive problem solver, able to demonstrate agility and flexibility in their approach and technical skill sets
• Be able to demonstrate a technical background, experience and interests
• Recent graduate from an engineering/technical/science discipline or a more hands‑on, less academic background

We will provide full training (in‑house and at external organisations) as required. The expectation is that you will grow with the company, gaining experience and seniority as you develop into a world‑class Additive Manufacturing Engineer.

Due to the nature of our business we will only consider applications from British citizens.
