The growth in demand for composites is increasing the need for skilled technicians with knowledge of composite design, tooling, moulding, machining, testing, repairing, and material production. These specialised skills will give you the opportunity to be involved in important projects, some of which could be reported in the news.
Composites are manufactured using a combination of materials and can be formed into rigid structures that are lighter and stronger than metals. They are used by the aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, rail, marine, construction, and renewables industries for smaller components as well as structures such as panels and frames.
