Job description

Job Description

Have you ever looked at a drawing and instinctively known the best way to make it happen?

That is what this business needs… an Applications Engineer who can take a sales order, see the detail behind it, and translate that into a clear process that works first time on the shopfloor.

As Applications Engineer you will be the bridge, between sales and production, between the customer and the finished component.

You will define how things are made, plan the route through machining, and make sure every stage meets the standards expected. Millers, lathes, CNC, heat treatment, coatings…you will know what is required and when.

But this is not just about process, it is about people too, you will be part of a team that genuinely looks out for one another, a place where if you need help, someone steps in, a place where you will be encouraged to broaden your skills across different areas, not boxed into one corner, the kind of culture that makes people stay.

This is a business with stability and a strong pipeline of work, but it is also a place that values fresh thinking.

As Applications Engineer you will be listened to, if you see a better way to do something, they want to hear it.

What is in it for you?

• £40,000 to £50,000 depending on experience
• Monday to Friday, with an early finish every Friday
• Pension scheme, 3% employer and 5% employee
• Employee assistance programme, with support for wellbeing, finances and more
• Modern, open-plan facility with on-site parking and space to think

If you are someone who thrives on turning plans into reality, who enjoys getting into the detail but also sees the bigger picture, this Applications Engineer role could be the step where your technical knowledge and your ideas are both valued.

This role is exclusive to Marshall Harmony; you will not be contacted by any third parties. If you would like more info or want to talk it through, send your CV to the email above.
