Join ICOMAT – Revolutionising the Future of Lightweight Manufacturing!
iCOMAT is an advanced manufacturing company that invented Rapid Tow Shearing (RTS) - the only proven technology for producing defect-free curved-fiber composite parts at industrial scale. We deliver the lightest structures possible for aerospace, automotive, defense, and space, at a rate and cost efficiency that far exceeds existing composite production processes.
We build and operate automated factories for composite materials, delivering components to Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs. The business has three main divisions: development of automated production machines, development of software design and production tools, and operation of the factory. We work with 25+ customers and completed the largest ever Series A in composites manufacturing to fuel a significant scale-up, with growth plans that will see the business multiply in size over the next two to three years and expand operations into the UK, Europe and the US.
The business has currently more than 130,000 sqm of production capacity with manufacturing facilities in the UK (Gloucester and Swindon) and the US (Dayton, Ohio); a Hardware R&D Centre in Bristol, UK; and a Software R&D Centre in Athens, Greece.
The Storekeeper is at the heart of how iCOMAT Swindon runs every day. You will own the accurate flow of materials, components and finished goods through the warehouse, from goods inwards through to kitting and dispatch to the production cells. You will work hand in glove with the Operations, Quality and Procurement to keep stock accurate, kits complete and production never waiting.
This is a mid-level role with real autonomy. You will run sections of the stores independently, lead day-to-day cycle counts and goods-in activity. If you take pride in a tidy, controlled, well-run warehouse and you want to see your work feed into composite parts flying on aircraft and racing on Formula 1 grids, this is your seat.
