You will be responsible for working with the Business Development team to develop a pipeline of opportunities for collaborative R&D proposals and commercial tenders, helping to take them to successful submission, generating income to help the organisation grow and expand its capabilities. Your job will be to connect the AFRC to local, national and international forging and forming research, business and industry.
