Worth knowing
Why it is interesting. Coatings and corrosion protection are the core focus of a mechanical engineering role, covering paints, GFRP and metal substrates on rail vehicles.
Might not be for you. Heavy CAD, drawing release and specification writing rather than hands-on lab or formulation work.
Heads-up: Hiring for several of these
