Job description

Mechanical Fitter required to join an aerospace production team to work in a cleanroom environment on the assembly, integration and testing of aerospace devices.

Our international Aerospace and Defence client is going through a continued period of expansion and looking for Precision Mechanical Assembly Technicians. The ideal candidate will have experience as a Mechanical fitter ideally through apprenticeship with exposure to and of the following: non return valves, flow control valves, solenoid valves, cold gas thrusters or any fluidic components for the space industry.

Training and skills development will be provided; extended working hours may be required to meet production targets.

Responsibilities

1. Precision assembly and test activities in a Class 8 clean room.
2. Testing the integrity of assembled systems using high pressure gases and leak detection equipment such as helium mass spectrometers.
3. Cleaning components in preparation for assembly and test activities using automatic particle counting equipment and patch sample counting techniques.
4. Electrical testing.
5. Gas flow testing of valves, thrusters and fluidic components to ensure components are within tolerance prior to assembly.
6. Using digital voltmeters, oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, high voltage dielectric and insulation resistance test equipment.
7. Material joining processes including manual TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, orbital welding, and compiling weld inspection reports on parts and test pieces.
