Job Description

Echelon Engineers is working with a well established manufacturer of process plant and materials handling equipment to recruit an Applications Engineer. This is a design led role sitting at the heart of the sales process, turning customer enquiries into compelling 3D plant layouts and engineering solutions that win work.

If you enjoy SolidWorks, thrive on visualising complex equipment and want your design output to have a direct commercial impact, this is an excellent opportunity to join a busy, growing engineering business.

The Role

Reporting to the Technical Director, you will create 3D layouts and engineering concepts that support the sales and marketing effort. Over time you will take incoming enquiries and progress the technical and drawing work independently, becoming a key link between sales, engineering and projects.

Key Responsibilities

  * Produce visually strong, accurate 3D plant layouts and general arrangement designs using SolidWorks and 2D CAD.

  * Interpret sales enquiries and develop the layout and technical requirements with growing autonomy.

  * Build and maintain a library of plug and play 3D models and standard equipment shells to speed up layout creation.

  * Create renders, animations, flythroughs and flow diagrams to bring designs to life for customers and marketing.

  * Explore emerging 3D techniques such as laser scan integration, first person walkthroughs and web based configurators.

  * Support project engineering and detailed design to help release work to manufacture when required.

  * Contribute to design standards, product standardisation and continuous improvement.

  * Provide technical support to sales, marketing, engineering, projects and R&D, attending site as needed.

About You

  * Proficient in SolidWorks, with solid 2D and 3D CAD ability.

  * Background in capital equipment, process plant, materials handling or a related industrial manufacturing sector.

  * Able to read an enquiry and work out what a layout needs with minimal direction.

  * Strong eye for clear, well presented design and layout.

  * Comfortable producing renders, animations or flow diagrams (or keen to develop these skills).

  * Self motivated, organised and able to manage several projects at once.

What is on Offer

  * Varied, design focused role with genuine influence on the business.

  * Scope to develop advanced visualisation and configurator capability.

  * Supportive engineering team and long term progression.

  * Competitive salary and benefits package.
