Composites/marine

Composites - the industry of the future. Being stronger and lighter than steel, composite technology has many uses and the skills acquired in its use are transferable across many industries including aerospace, automotive, marine and motor sport.

Knowing how to design and manufacture in composites can get your career off to a really good start as the composites/marine industry has consistently grown and shows no sign of slowing down. A major constraint to this growth may be the availability of appropriately trained engineers, composite workers and marine engineers. There are exciting career opportunities in many dynamic industries locally, nationally and internationally
