Aerospace Corrosion and Surface Engineering Engineer

Location: Filton

Aerospace Corrosion and Surface Engineering Engineer
Contract 12 months
£40 per hour
60% onsite Filton Bristol

The role
This is a hands on engineering contract focused on corrosion protection, surface treatments and coatings across multiple aircraft programmes. You will be working directly on real aircraft challenges, not theoretical studies, supporting design, build and in service activity with practical surface engineering solutions.

You will be part of the Materials, Processes and Test function, contributing to the development, qualification and deployment of surface technologies used on metallic and composite airframe structures.

This role suits an engineer who understands how corrosion protection actually works in production and service environments and can apply that knowledge pragmatically.

What you will be doing

Developing and deploying surface technology solutions for aircraft design, manufacture and operation
Providing corrosion protection and sealing concepts to support airframe structures
Supporting multiple aircraft programmes with corrosion analysis and protection strategies
Contributing to performance improvement, cost reduction and process optimisation activities
Supporting the transition to chromate free corrosion protection systems
Ensuring compliance with EHS and REACh regulations through eco efficient materials and processes
Working closely with international engineering teams across sites

What we are looking for

Degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering or similar
Proven experience in corrosion protection and surface technologies within aerospace
Strong knowledge of aerospace materials including metallics and composites

Experience with surface treatments, coatings, paints and sealants
Practical understanding of aerospace manufacturing and in service environments
Able to work independently while contributing effectively within a multi site international team
Confident communicator with professional level English Contract details

Rate £40 per hour
Duration 12 months
Location Filton Bristol
Onsite requirement approximately 60%
If you are a surface engineering or corrosion specialist looking for a long term contract with real engineering impact, this role offers strong continuity and exposure across multiple aircraft programmes
