With the number of composites businesses in the UK predicted to rise considerably over the next five years, the demand for composite engineers is growing. The biggest growth will be within the aerospace sector and recruitment agencies are one option for helping employers meet the need for qualified staff.
What is composite engineering?
A composite engineer manages the manufacturing of composite materials. They will typically work with fibres and resins to develop structural materials with specific properties - such as high strength, low weight or electrical resistance.
Within avionics, these engineers will be employed to build and maintain aircraft parts. Jobs are usually on a permanent basis, with salaries ranging from £30,000 for a junior engineer, to £50,000 plus for a senior professional.
Recruiting a composite engineer
An employer looking to hire a composite engineer may find a recruitment agency to offer the best solution. Engineering or aerospace recruiters will likely understand the skills and qualifications needed for the role, while also having access to a network of suitable candidates.
