**The Vacancy**

As a Technical Documentation Engineer (within the Manufacturing Engineering Team) based at the High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC) in Ansty, you will conduct research and improvement activities related to the design and manufacture of turbine components. The HTRC is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Rolls-Royce and is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for investment casting, machining, and advanced metrology of single crystal components.

The Centre has three key aims:

- Design & make of turbine components for engine development projects
- Develop novel design and manufacturing techniques to enable future design styles and manufacturing technologies
- Accelerate cost reduction and casting/machining yield improvement activities for Turbine components.

You will work within our co-located design and manufacturing engineering teams at the HTRC and in close collaboration with a wide range of researchers from the relevant academic fields.

Manufacturing engineers are responsible for the method of manufacture that delivers component requirements and support both process engineering and project delivery tasks. Whilst an engineer may have a particular process or project focus, they will be able to support both functions.

This role provides support to the process engineering team, and wider teams at the HTRC, in Technical writing. This will include (but not limited to)
- Generation and update of Technical Instruction
- Archiving of fixed process documentation
- Generation and update of Training Packs
- Generation and update of Engineering Work Instructions
- Equipment Blue Folder Handover documentation.
- Any other documents as deemed necessary.
- The role holder will also conduct trials through the HTRC, with support of the Process and Project teams, by following the HTRC trial process.

You will:

- Be degree qualified or demonstrate equivalent technical capability based on practical knowledge and experience
- Have sound understanding of manufacturing engineering and component engineering principles
- Ideally demonstrate technical knowledge of turbine components and/or process knowledge associated with investment casting and/or machining of turbine components
- Be equipped with a strong functional skill set (problem solving, programme management, change control, risk management and budgetary control).
- A high attention to detail is a must for the successful creation and maintenance of Technical Documentation.
