Job Title

: Technologist Filament Winding

Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled Technologist with deep expertise in filament winding processes for composite pressure vessels. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, optimizing, and overseeing manufacturing techniques that ensure high-performance, safe, and cost-effective composite pressure vessels for water treatment applications.


This role requires strong technical knowledge of composite materials, resin systems, curing processes, and quality assurance methods, along with hands-on experience operating and programming filament winding machinery.

Key Responsibilities

Process Development & Optimization:

Design, develop, and implement filament winding process for various pressure vessel sizes, geometries and pressures. Select appropriate fibres, resin systems, and winding patterns based on mechanical and chemical performance requirements. Develop machine programs, tooling, and mandrel systems to achieve optimal fibre placement and resin content. Continuously refine winding parameters to improve efficiency, repeatability, and product performance.

Manufacturing Execution:

Develop standard operating procedures for filament winding, curing, extraction, and post-processing. Train and supervise machine operators. Program and supervise the operation of CNC-controlled filament winding machines. Troubleshoot equipment, material, or process-related issues to ensure consistent product quality. Implement and enforce safety procedures for composite manufacturing processes.

Quality Control & Testing:

Define and execute quality control procedures. Ensure that all products and associated processes meet relevant international standards (e.g. ASME)

Collaboration & Documentation:

Work closely with the production team to support new product introductions and continuous improvement projects. Document processes, work instructions, and technical reports for both production and regulatory compliance. Provide training and guidance to technicians and operators on filament winding best practices.

Qualifications & Skills

Education & Experience

Bachelors degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field. Minimum 3-5 years of experience in filament winding, preferably for high-pressure composite vessels. Strong knowledge of composite material science, particularly glass fibre and epoxy resin composites.

Technical Competencies

Proficiency in CNC filament winding machine programming and operation. Understanding of epoxy resin systems. Familiarity with quality standards for composite pressure vessels (ASME Section X). Experience with software for design and machine programming (Cadfil, SolidWorks). Knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA) for composite structures.

Personal Attributes

Strong problem-solving skills with a hands-on, detail-oriented approach. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment. Commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement. Methodical, data-driven, and evidence-based in evaluating processes, materials, and results.

Location & Work Environment

Based at our manufacturing facility in Fujairah, UAE. Hands-on shop floor work combined with office-based design and analysis. * Occasional travel for supplier visits or technical conferences.
