If you work with composite materials then it's very likely that you're already aware of Easy Composites. Although only a relatively small company, we have a high profile within the industry and an enviable reputation for outstanding technical support and competency.
Preferred Skills/Abilities:
As well as distributing composite materials, Easy Composites also manufactures products such as carbon fibre sheet as well as a range of composites tools and equipment - in-house - at our Stoke-on-Trent site. The company also has subsidiaries in the Netherlands and China and operates training courses and a hugely popular YouTube channel, all of which make this a wonderfully varied and interesting place to work.
As part of a small but ambitious company, you would be in an environment where your hard work and ability could make a huge difference and would always be recognised and rewarded with opportunities for progression within the business.
The position is full time (37.5hrs/week) and permanent (subject to satisfactory completion of probationary period), based in our modern industrial unit in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (UK). Working hours are Mon-Fri, suggested as 9am to 5pm but could be adjusted to suit.
Starting salary circa £37-50k; negotiable dependent upon skills, qualifications, and experience.
Company pension.
