Health and Safety Technician

Company Overview
Alloyed is a young venture-funded company of around 150 world-class metallurgists, mechanical engineers, technicians, and software developers working across three sites in the UK and one in the US, building the future of advanced metal components. We use proprietary software packages which combine advanced machine learning and physical modelling, as well as extensive experimental facilities, to 3D print metal components better and faster than anyone else.
At our Oxfordshire premises we are aiming to build the world’s fastest, smartest, and best-equipped facility for the rapid development of additively manufactured parts for the electronics, aerospace and industrial sectors, and novel metal alloys for better performance.
The Health and Safety Technician Role
Alloyed is seeking a diligent, methodical and motivated individual to join its growing team as Health and Safety Technician.

The role will be varied with a mixture of administrative tasks, on-site staff engagement, and technical assessments. You will interact with staff from all areas including the offices, laboratory and machine workshops, and must be a confident communicator.
Your duties will require you to regularly work in sites located in both Yarnton and Abingdon so being a car owner/driver is essential.
