Who are we
We’re a fast-growing family-owned business, with a reputation for our consultative and transparent approach to working with our customers to build lasting relationships. No longer just for prototyping, 3D printing (or Additive Manufacturing as it’s more formally known) is now a viable alternative in many applications and volumes where traditional technologies once stood, and we’re proud to be at the leading edge in helping our customers realise the art of the possible.
We’re building something special and we’re always on the lookout for talented people to join us as our industry and our business evolves.
Who are we looking for?
We’re always interested to hear from applicants who can demonstrate relevant experience whether you’re a seasoned professional or fresh out of college or university with a passion for your subject which you’ve pursued outside of your studies. A willingness to learn and grow, openness to getting ‘hands on’ in the services we offer, and above all, a strong work ethic is important to us.
What can we offer you?
“Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough, so they don’t want to!”
– Sir Richard Branson

The Role
This engineering-led, customer-facing role sits at the intersection of engineering and commercial activity. You will assess incoming enquiries, review CAD models and technical drawings, prepare quotations and provide expert guidance on additive manufacturing solutions.

- Rapidly assess manufacturing requirements and prepare accurate quotations.
- Manage customer enquiries and provide technical guidance throughout the quotation and order process.
- Recommend appropriate additive manufacturing processes, materials and finishing options.
- Undertake deeper technical consultations where applications require detailed assessment.
- Provide Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) guidance where appropriate.
- Collaborate with production and engineering teams on technical feasibility.
- Build long-term customer relationships and become a trusted technical advisor.
- Maintain accurate CRM and quotation records.
About You
- Experience in engineering, manufacturing, technical sales, design, production or applications engineering.
- Strong understanding of engineering principles and manufacturing processes.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings and technical documentation.
- Experience working with 3D CAD models and engineering data.
- Excellent communication, analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain BPSS clearance.
Desirable
- Experience with additive manufacturing or industrial 3D printing.
- Knowledge of MJF, SLS, SLA or FDM technologies.
- Engineering qualification (HNC, HND, Degree or equivalent).
- Existing BPSS or SC clearance, or eligibility to obtain SC clearance.
- Hands-on 3D printing experience through work, education or personal projects.
