Overview
We are seeking a skilled and experienced Light-RTM Lead to play a pivotal role in the refinement and delivery of our Light Resin Transfer Moulding (Light-RTM) processes.

- Promote a culture of care, innovation, integrity, and ownership across the team.
- Maintain a strong awareness of safety and material handling.
- Adapt flexibly to the evolving demands of the manufacturing process.
Required Skills
- Proven experience with the Light-RTM process and composite materials manufacturing.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to product quality.
