About Us
Based in Telford, Shropshire, my client is a leading automation solutions provider, delivering complex turnkey systems to major UK manufacturing industries, including metals, automotive, marine, plastics, paper, transportation, and more. Partnered with industry giants like ABB, Siemens, Nidec, Danfoss, GE, and others, they pride themselves on their independence, innovation, and ability to lead customers into the digital era through trusted partnerships.

The Role
We’re seeking an Applications Engineer to join from the ground up, supporting their drives and controls expertise with an immediate focus on AC/DC, servo, and drive applications. Reporting to the Sales Applications Manager, you’ll play a critical role in developing and costing sound technical solutions, preparing high-quality quotations, and providing technical support to our sales team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Configure technical solutions from customer specifications across diverse industries.
• Prepare detailed quotations, technical proposals, and system topologies using clear, concise language.
• Estimate resources and equipment needs using engineering software and tools.

• Support large, multi-disciplinary projects with a commercially savvy approach.
• Produce high-quality documentation using MS Office tools (Word, Excel, Visio, etc.).
• Occasionally attend customer sites (UK and overseas) to support project delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree in electrical/electronic or mechatronic engineering (or equivalent).
• Proven knowledge of AC/DC and servo VSDs (sizing motors from first principles is a plus).
• Experience with PLC, SCADA/HMI, Fieldbus protocols, or Industry 4.0 technologies.
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills.
• Commercially aware with an appreciation of industry drivers and costings.
• Excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team on diverse, ever-changing projects.
• Previous experience in a similar role is preferred but not essential.

Why Join Us?

• Diverse Projects: Work on unique, large-scale projects with leading manufacturers
• Competitive Package: £60-65k salary (based on experience), plus car allowance, bonus, pension, life insurance, and 25 days holiday.
• Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy a mix of office and remote work to suit your lifestyle.
• Growth Opportunities: Be part of a growing team where your skills will shape our future.
