Job Title: 3D Modelling Graduate
KTP Associate with Hargreaves Ductwork Ltd in Bury, Greater
Manchester
Salary: £20,000 to £23,000 (plus individual training budget)
2 year fixed term contract
This position is being readvertised, previous applicants need not apply.
This KTP project offers a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious graduate to launch
a career in industry with the support of company and academic mentors.
Hargreaves Ductwork Ltd has joined forces with the University of Wolverhampton
on this KTP project to enable them to develop new approaches and technologies
for the implementation of Computer Aided Design tools within the ventilation
system industry supplying to the nuclear and other major commercial industries.
Hargreaves Ductwork Ltd, based in Bury, Greater Manchester, are one of the UK’s
leading providers of air movement and ventilation ductwork solutions, delivering
projects throughout the UK ranging from Nuclear and Industrial Processes, to
Healthcare, Retail, Commercial and Leisure.
Working on this KTP you will gain highly sought-after experience and skill
development within the manufacturing and construction industries. You will be
responsible for project managing this programme of work, bringing your
engineering and/or construction IT knowledge to the project. You will be expected
to investigate Building Information Modelling (BIM) and to direct the company on
how this evolving technology might be exploited within the ventilation design,
manufacture and installation industry. It will be advantageous for you to be aware
of how CAD systems can be tailored for individual company usage by utilising
programming and scripting tools. Knowledge of BIM would be an advantage, but
this area will be supported by university expertise.
An exciting aspect to this post and one that will build on your engineering and/or
construction IT knowledge is that you will investigate research and implement 3D
scanning technologies for recording exterior and interior structural data. You will
then develop this into detailed work instructions for the installation of complex
ducting in a range of applications in advanced engineering environments. As a
consequence of this you will be required to frequently work off-site in an
independent but highly professional and safe manner.
We seek a minimum BSc (Hons) 2:1 in Manufacturing/Construction or IT related
subjects. You must be able to demonstrate practically your knowledge of 3D CAD
software.
You should be self-motivated and capable of working autonomously as well as in a
team and be able to interact at all levels within industry with an inquisitive and
innovative approach. Good communication skills are essential as is a flexible
working approach and strict time management. A positive attitude and pride in
your work, showing attention to detail and quality control are essential. Ability to
balance technical issues with commercial constraints and demonstrate abstract-
thinking skills are also key requirements for this role.
To support your commitment to continuous self-development you will have a
generous personal development budget in addition to KTP Management Training.
You will be employed by The University of Wolverhampton and will be based at
Hargreaves Ductwork Ltd in Bury, Greater Manchester. You must be willing and
able to travel independently both within the UK and overseas. It is essential that
you are prepared to work within an environment of strictest confidentiality and
consequently must have no previous criminal record or issues preventing access to
high security establishments.
Closing date for applications is midday 4th April 2014
