Dyson will require people with ‘passion and logical thought’ to fill 350 new engineering roles.

The electrical manufacturer announced it is to double its engineering team from 350 to 700, recruiting graduate design engineers, mechanical engineers and acoustic engineers at its Wiltshire laboratories, bringing the number of its UK workforce to 1,600.

A spokesperson told Recruiter: “The engineers will need to be technically excellent in their field and work with diligence, passion and logical thought.  Dyson people are problem solvers.

“We are advertising in a variety of online and print media as well as on our own website.  We will also be specifically targeting universities to attract graduates to join us.”

Sir James Dyson adds: “As our need for good design and technology increases so does the need for creative and adventurous designers, engineers and scientists.”
