Job description

Behind many industrial operations is a specialist business helping equipment perform more efficiently, reliably and safely. Our client works in this space, combining technical knowledge with the capability to manufacture and supply practical solutions.

With an established industry presence and customers across energy, resources and heavy industry, this business offers exposure to varied engineering challenges. You’ll work close to the people making the products and the customers putting them to use, giving your work a clear connection to its end result.

The Appointment

A customer has a challenge. A drawing needs interpreting. A proposal needs a sound technical approach. A project needs someone to keep it moving……You’ll help connect these pieces.

Working across engineering, sales and production, you will turn customer requirements into clear recommendations, considered designs and deliverable projects.

Your week could involve:

• Exploring an application with a customer and identifying a suitable solution.
• Translating drawings and specifications into designs, quantities and cost inputs.
• Building the technical case behind a quotation or tender.
• Working through design and manufacturing questions with the fabrication team.
• Keeping a project moving by clarifying requirements, resolving queries and coordinating handovers.
• Visiting a site to understand operating conditions or explain how a product will perform.

The Appointee

You’re interested in what happens beyond the drawing.

You want to understand the application, ask useful questions and develop an answer that makes sense for the customer and the business. You can work through technical detail, explain your thinking clearly and follow through on what you commit to.

A background in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering would provide a useful foundation. Experience interpreting engineering drawings, P&IDs and specifications will help you contribute, alongside sound organisation and an awareness of cost, quality and delivery.

You’ll be comfortable contributing your ideas, asking for input and working with people whose expertise differs from your own.

What’s in it for you?

A broader view of engineering and the opportunity to influence the outcome.

You’ll see how technical choices affect manufacturing, customer performance and commercial results. You’ll build specialist knowledge while developing the confidence to advise customers and take responsibility for projects.

The appeal is the connection: between your ideas and a finished product, between the office and the workshop, and between understanding a problem and seeing your solution put to work.

For someone who enjoys engineering and working with people, there is plenty here to get involved in.
