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.

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.
