JOB VACANCIES (No agencies, please)
We have an expanding order book and we have recently doubled our manufacturing area. We have vacancies for Mechanical Engineers / Fitters. Please see the Job Description below. At USL you have a unique opportunity to see the results of your efforts from the design stage through to installation and operation of testing machines, varying from laboratory scale units up to large, complex machines. We offer competitive salaries which are based on your abilities and experience. We
design and manufacture the complete system, including mechanical scanning units,
electrical / electronic control, ultrasonic electronics and software. Our
customers rely on us to ensure that whatever system they need, it will perform
quickly, reliably and safely to the highest standards. We deliver and install equipment throughout the world so you must be prepared to travel and be away from home occasionally. If you are interested please e-mail your CV to info@ultrasonic-sciences.co.uk stating which vacancy you are interested in. ______________________________________ JOB DESCRIPTION MECHANICAL ENGINEER / FITTER You
will be responsible to the Chief Mechanical Engineer. The job is mainly
concerned with the assembly and setting up of our mechanical scanning machines.
These can be both large scale structures and also delicate electro-mechanisms.
Typically they will comprise the following parts: Linear
bearings / guideways Rotational
bearings of different types Drive
mechanisms with rack and pinion, ballscrew and belt drives Drive
shafts, linkages, gearboxes DC
servo and stepper motors, occasionally AC motors Rotary
and/or linear encoders Buffers,
limit switches, collision protection mechanisms Water
tanks, water circulation and treatment units Preparation
of surfaces and painting. You
will use the usual range of power tools in this work and there will be
occasional need for small scale pedestal drill, lathe and milling work, although
most of our machining is done by specialist sub-contractors. You
will usually work with GA, sub-assembly and detail part drawings, but detailed
assembly instructions are not normally available because our machines are often
unique. You will therefore need to work on your own initiative. There
will be occasional work in awkward positions and at heights of a few metres, so
you need to be reasonably fit. You need to be aware of the safety implications
of what you are doing and take the necessary precautions. Many
systems require on-site installation. Assistance with this will be one of the
tasks. This will require travel in QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE A recognised Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship plus several years relevant practical experience. Demonstrable and relevant experience without an apprenticeship is acceptable, because practical experience is more important than formal qualifications. You
must be able to communicate effectively with colleagues in English. Experience
in using CAD systems (preferably Autocad) at a basic level would be an
advantage. GENERAL The
salary will be negotiable, based on your own capabilities and
experience. Normal
working hours are Monday to Friday 9.00 to 5:30. Some overtime will be required
(but is not guaranteed). You
should have a current driving licence without convictions. |
