• Produce accurate quotations using internal run-time data, process inputs and manufacturing assumptions.
• Work closely with sales teams to assess part suitability and define manufacturable solutions.
• Evaluate tolerances, cost drivers and production risks prior to release.
• Provide practical input on routing, process selection and production feasibility.
• Support decision-making across both conventional and additive manufacturing methods to achieve the best technical and commercial outcome.

Experience Required:

• Strong manufacturing engineering background, ideally with a machining-led foundation.
• Confident interpreting blueprints, engineering drawings and 3D models.
• Working knowledge of additive manufacturing; direct additive experience would be highly beneficial.
• Good understanding of the full production process, including heat treatment, distortion planning and post-print machining.
• Experience in quoting, estimating or process planning.
• Commercial awareness combined with a practical engineering mindset.
• Experience working with nickel-based alloys such as Inconel, Hastelloy, Waspaloy, Rene, Haynes, Incoloy or other superalloys would be advantageous.
