WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

You will provide knowledge and expertise and execute tasks on the development of materials, processes, models and analysis methods, the application of materials to the design, test, manufacture, and service operation of systems, the approval, validation, and control of raw materials and / or component manufacturing processes, and the execution of failure or defect investigations. You will provide knowledge, expertise, and guidance in chemistry and/or corrosion disciplines deployed in the support of the full product life cycle.

Responsibilities

• Ensuring process compliance to National and International Standards through both the generation of shop floor instructions and the participation in audit procedures. Interpreting design and engineering requirements and ensuring shop applications remain in compliance.
• Approval of process data cards/procedures, process or stage drawings and Methods of Manufacture for both domestically manufactured parts and for parts manufactured in the external supply network.
• Maintaining operator training and qualification requirements for carrying specific Special processes including identification of changes to specification requirements that require subsequent operator training.
• Compilation of component specific Rationalised Quality Specifications (RQSC’s) and Technical Instructions for all parts on site.
• Leading mixed teams to advance specific processes and/or resolve manufacturing problems. The latter may use the Green belt or Black belt process.
• Microstructural evaluation and acceptance of test samples from Titanium, Steel, & Nickel alloys and Steels components or test pieces at forging, heat treatment or post machining operations
• Driving continuous improvement and control activities to reduce process variation including identifying opportunities for data capture and processes centralised.
• Supporting the selection, justification, acquisition, and commissioning of new processing equipment.
