Hello everyone,

I work in the composite industry as a laminator/boat builder working with luxury tenders in Hampshire. I primarily use wet lay techniques but have done many pre preg lay ups as well. I have been looking at avenues into the Motorsport/aerospace industry as I've seen this is a significant pay increase but have come struggled to get in because of my maritime background. If anyone on this site has any information or advise for me it would be much appreciated. 

Cheers

what he said Smile
Im currently working back in research but not as a lammy, as rob says the difference between boat building and motorsport is huge, aerospace is much easier in my opinion and you could look into getting some work in the aircraft interiors industry but they have horrible phenolic systems, which are nasty to work with but if you have been using poly and vinyl systems then you should be able to cope.

You could try going on a dark matters training course in prepreg lamination, that would be something good on the CV at least. http://www.darkmattercomposites.com/prepreg-overview.html

Good luck with it and the possible move to canada. I presume you have looked into applying at bombardier?
