About the role

Lead the additive manufacturing business at New Forge Engineering, taking it to the next stage. You'll be the face of the business and main contact for customers, from first enquiry and design through to delivery and invoicing, looking after existing clients and finding new ones. You'll follow up, spot opportunities, and represent the business at field days, trade shows and business events. As the business grows, you'll lead a junior team member to run the printers and handle deliveries. This is a design, client and leadership role, not a print operator role.
