Jordan’s Journey

Jordan joined LIBERTY Steel UK 15 months ago, drawn to the company’s aerospace focus and its investment in young talent. His role as Team Leader involves overseeing production, ensuring quality control, and maintaining a safe working environment.

“What attracted me to LIBERTY predominantly was I wanted to get into aerospace,” Jordan explains. “The tolerances that you work to, the stipulations that you have to hit to supply into the aerospace market, it was something that I wanted to do.”

A Passion for Engineering

Jordan’s enthusiasm for engineering is evident in his work. He finds fulfilment in the entire process, from the raw materials to the finished product.

“I love engineering,” Jordan says. “From raw material coming in to defining a process, to making it happen, programming it, and seeing a tangible product come off at the end. That’s the main thing that gets me out of bed.”

Mentoring the Next Generation

As a Team Leader, Jordan also plays a crucial role in mentoring younger apprentices. He shares his knowledge and experience, helping them develop their skills and prepare for successful careers in engineering.

“We have two apprentices within the AMC team now, and it’s a great opportunity both for them and for us to develop these two young brains into proper engineers,” Jordan says. “We have all the equipment here. We have the people here and the experience here to provide that knowledge.”
