British engineering firm announces further recruitment drive as production of its diesel outboard ramps up

Careers Day at Cox Marine's Brighton City Airport headquarters is being held to showcase a variety of vacancies in production, logistics, quality, sales, and engineering.

Shoreham – 14 October 2021 – Cox Marine, the innovative, high-tech engineering firm based at Brighton City Airport, is holding a Careers Open Day on 23rd October as it seeks to recruit around 15 new employees. Backed by a strong base of shareholders and private investors, the company has developed a ground-breaking marine diesel outboard engine, the CXO300, which went into production in May 2020. With production now entering its second shift and about to ramp up, the company is now looking to fill another round of vacancies as the company seeks to meet the high demand for its engines.

Cox Marine has a global distributor network with a consistently growing order book and the business is seeking to fill 10 vacancies in its busy production team, 3 positions in logistics, 2 in quality, and a number of other positions in its sales and engineering divisions.

Speaking about the open day, Richard Lind, Head of Enterprise Excellence, said: “This continues to be a very exciting time for everyone at Cox Marine. Not only is the CXO300 diesel outboard a truly innovative product, but we have also created a complex, high precision, ‘no-fault forward’ manufacturing facility using cutting-edge technology to deliver a game-changing and highly sought-after product for the global marine market. This is a great opportunity to join a fantastic team of people that are delivering a revolutionary engine.”

Significant investment, including an additional injection of financing earlier this year, means that Cox Marine has been able to put in place enviable state-of-the-art production facilities, with a smart technology-driven assembly line and an integrated Manufacturing Execution System (MES). This ensures exceptional quality standards are delivered to meet the ‘no-fault forward’ philosophy. Smart technology is used throughout the production process with cameras and Wi-Fi-enabled DC tooling just some of the features in place to ensure the flawless quality of each Cox outboard produced.

Those interested in the roles are encouraged to book an appointment by emailing recruitment@coxpowertrain.com. Candidates should bring along a CV and those with previous assembly experience are particularly encouraged to apply.
