Forres, United Kingdom Orbex Full time

Orbex is seeking a dynamic and experienced Events Manager to join our Marketing team on full time and permanent basis. You will play a crucial role in promoting Orbex’s brand, engaging stakeholders, and enhancing public awareness of our mission and achievements.


The role offers you a unique opportunity to be part of Orbex’s exciting journey to launch


Orbex


Orbex is a leading micro-launch company with our Prime vehicle being prepared to launch from our home spaceport, Sutherland Spaceport. We are well placed to be one of the first operational micro-launch companies in Europe with over £103m of project financing secured, a number of customers signed up, our launch licence application submitted, and backing from organisations including UKSA and ESA.


We are a rapidly growing company with staff located between our production and test facilities in Forres, Scotland and Copenhagen, Denmark. Working on cutting-edge advances in rocket fuel technology, Prime’s carbon footprint is up to 96% lower than comparable vehicles, leading to innovations in propulsion and tank structures. A state-of-the-art re-flight system means we can recover and reuse our technology, and innovations in separation mechanisms mean we leave no debris in space.


Having developed in-house production capability, we can 3D print complex engines, produce full-scale carbon composite fuel tanks, and have avionics and software testing labs in both Scotland and Denmark. Based in Forres, you will be right in the heart of this fast-paced cutting-edge company, gaining a unique insight into what it takes to build a new launch vehicle for a buoyant commercial market.


Orbex is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is working towards a more diverse workforce in the aerospace industry.
