Experience with breathing apparatus, respiratory protection, life-support equipment or specialist safety equipment would be advantageous.
Other relevant industries include aerospace, defence, automotive, motorsport, industrial machinery, oil & gas, marine and medical equipment.

You'll be someone who:
Has a genuine interest in mechanical engineering and how products work
Can understand technical requirements and develop practical solutions
