Nacelle Structural Design Engineer - Shanghai, China

Nacelle Structural Design Engineer - Shanghai, China.

Our Aerospace client offers long term-steady work prospects to suitable candidates with Nacelle Structural Design expertise. Strongfield have been supporting the civil aircraft programs in China for around 16 years now. If you have interest to live and work in Shanghai, without long hours and high pressure, please forward your CV in the first instance for review.-

This is an opportunity for candidates that would like steady long-term work on a new Civil aircraft engine program, whilst giving them time to see and explore Asia and its culture. Our client has modern facilities and equipment, and they respect the experience that successful candidates can bring to them.

We will work with you throughout the whole process until you arrive and are integrated into Shanghai life.

If Asia has been on your list of continents to see and experience, maybe this could be the opportunity for you. With flights and high-speed transport links, our Engineers have been able to travel and see Macau and Hong Kong for instance.
