A Composite Technician is responsible for manufacturing, repairing, and maintaining composite materials used in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and renewable energy. Their work involves using materials like carbon fibre, fibreglass, and resins to construct lightweight, high-strength components.
Technicians interpret technical drawings, cut and lay composite fabrics, apply resins, perform vacuum bagging, and carry out curing processes. They also inspect finished products for defects and ensure compliance with quality and safety standards. Attention to detail, manual dexterity, and knowledge of composite fabrication techniques are essential in this hands-on role, which often involves working in workshop or production line settings.
