Research feeds the commercial operations of BBRG, and ensures that we remain at the forefront of technology in our fields of expertise.

To excel in these areas, we are looking for people with Masters Degrees and PhD’s, usually in Metallurgy, Materials Science (metals and polymers) and Engineering.
