Are you the kind of Metallurgist who doesn’t just test metals, but needs to know why they failed?

Job Title: Metallurgist

Location: Oxfordshire

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm

Salary: £36,000 per annum

We’re supporting a world class materials testing facility in Oxfordshire in their search for a seasoned Metallurgist. They work with aerospace primes, OEMs and high stakes industries to test the limits of nickel based superalloys, titanium, maraging steel, aluminium and more.

You’ll be joining a highly accredited environment where NADCAP and ISO17025 are part of daily life.

What you’ll be doing:

• Performing metallurgical evaluations on high performance materials
• Using techniques such as OES, ICPOES, ICP-MS, corrosion testing and grain size analysis
• Supporting investigations using optical and electron microscopy
• Interpreting and documenting findings with accuracy and clarity
• Ensuring all activity complies with the standards expected in a mission-critical lab environment

What we’re looking for:

• A time served Metallurgist with at least 5 years of experience in one or more of the following:
• Aerospace OEMs or end users (e.g. Rolls-Royce, Airbus)
• Heat treatment, forging, or foundry environments
• Commercial laboratories working to NADCAP or equivalent standards
• Deep knowledge of aerospace grade materials
• A methodical approach and high attention to detail
• Strong documentation and reporting skills
• Someone curious by nature, the kind of person who asks why a material behaved the way it did

 This is where materials meet their limits, and someone needs to measure what happens next. The reports you help produce may influence whether a component makes it into an aircraft engine, a power plant, or a high performance system. Your work has real world impact.

What we offer:

• Pension scheme
• Death in service cover
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Breakfast Club
