Junior Manufacturing Engineer

Magellan Aerospace Europe has entered into a partnership with Morgan Ryder. This is a strategic move to drive their employer brand and improve talent acquisition across their EU manufacturing business unit.
Donna Bennett (European HR Director) commented: 
"In a market where unemployment is at an all-time low and the number of job opportunities available are at an all-time high, ensuring our business is calibrated to modern talent acquisition is crucial. Whilst the HR team continue to nurture home grown talent through internal training and development, to achieve the business plan we will need to reach out to, communicate with, attract and secure top talent externally. Recruitment is a small part of the HR functions responsibility however it actually consumes significantly more time and resources than it should, especially when working with a diverse range of external recruitment suppliers. This partnership will not only help re-align our business to modern talent acquisition it will actually free up significant time for the HR team and allow us to focus on the delivery of more strategic and operational projects."
