This approach can restrict the opportunities for some companies to include their own specialist manufacturing capability to provide a more effective and cost efficient solution. A new approach is suggested following the recent experience at Diamond Light Source. The manufacture of high stiffness welded fabrications up to 13m in length for the I21 RIXS Spectrometer is used as an example. The I21 RIXS Spectrometer design was optimised for stiffness and control of vibration. The use of Finite Element Analysis enabled different design options and compromises to be explored utilising the supplier's capabilities. The final design was tested during manufacture to verify the FEA model. With the I21 RIXS Spectrometer commissioned the data collected shows the final stability performance of the system including detector stability over full experiment durations has met the scientific goals of the design.

	The continued increase in the number of Light Sources, their beamlines and the need for upgrades of both machine and beamlines requires an ever larger supply of suitably qualified and experienced engineers. If there is a world wide shortage of Engineers where will facilities find these engineers and how can they be trained to the required level? This paper discusses these issues by looking at the growth of demand for engineers within light sources, the evidence of shortages of engineers, the changes in attitudes to work by younger people, the skills necessary, training opportunities and the issues in attracting people into the light sources industry. The paper will also outline the training week for early career engineers delivered at Diamond.

A common procurement strategy is to produce a fully optimised reference design that makes assumptions about the manufacturing process and supplier capability. This approach can restrict the opportunities for some companies to include their own specialist manufacturing capability to provide a more effective and cost efficient solution. A new approach is suggested following the recent experience at Diamond Light Source. The manufacture of high stiffness welded fabrications up to 13m in length for the I21 RIXS Spectrometer is used as an example. The I21 RIXS Spectrometer design was optimised for stiffness and control of vibration. The use of Finite Element Analysis enabled different design options and compromises to be explored utilising the supplier's capabilities. The final design was tested during manufacture to verify the FEA model. With the I21 RIXS Spectrometer commissioned the data collected shows the final stability performance of the system including detector stability over full experiment durations has met the scientific goals of the design.

The continued increase in the number of Light Sources, their beamlines and the need for upgrades of both machine and beamlines requires an ever larger supply of suitably qualified and experienced engineers. If there is a world wide shortage of Engineers where will facilities find these engineers and how can they be trained to the required level? This paper discusses these issues by looking at the growth of demand for engineers within light sources, the evidence of shortages of engineers, the changes in attitudes to work by younger people, the skills necessary, training opportunities and the issues in attracting people into the light sources industry. The paper will also outline the training week for early career engineers delivered at Diamond.
