We’re a leading global specialist in advanced industrial technologies and solutions for the power generation and heavy industrial sectors. We’re looking for a technically strong, customer-focused Mechanical Engineer to join our Commercial Operations team in Dumbarton.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer who is confident working with Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and enjoys applying first-principles engineering knowledge to real customer challenges — combining technical depth with proposals, applications support, and client engagement.
About the Role
You will be the key technical expert helping customers select, configure, and apply our specialised industrial equipment. A core part of the role is creating, reviewing, and revising P&IDs, alongside performing calculations and delivering strong technical proposals that lead to successful project outcomes. You’ll work closely with Sales, Contracts, and Aftermarket teams.
Key Responsibilities
  * Prepare, revise, and maintain Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) using CAD (AutoCAD, Solid Edge or similar) – this is a central element of the role
  * Provide technical support for product selection, configuration, and applications
  * Perform pressure and flow calculations for industrial systems
  * Review technical proposals and orders to identify and mitigate risks
  * Create and deliver technical presentations and reports to customers (virtually and in-person)
  * Support tender preparation and collaborate with internal engineering teams
  * Contribute to product improvements, engineering standards, and new technology development
  * Produce clear, high-quality technical documentation (especially Excel)
What We’re Looking For:
Essential
  * Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
  * A minimum of 3 years of practical experience in a manufacturing or industrial engineering environment
  * Proven experience preparing and revising P&IDs using CAD software (AutoCAD, Solid Edge or similar)
  * Experience with technical calculations
Key Attributes
  * Confident communicator, comfortable with customer-facing work and technical presentations
  * Proactive problem-solver with a flexible, can-do attitude
  * Ability to work independently and make sound technical decisions
  * Genuine interest in power generation or heavy industrial equipment is highly advantageous
Whether your background is in Applications Engineering, Technical Sales Engineering, Proposals Engineering, Technical Customer Engineering, Product Engineering, or Aftermarket Support — if you’re a Mechanical Engineer who is strong with P&IDs and enjoys translating complex technical solutions into real customer value, we’d like to hear from you.
What We Offer
  * Competitive salary and benefits package
  * Flexitime working
  * Opportunity to work with specialised industrial technologies in a global organisation
  * Professional development and clear long-term career progression
  * Collaborative team environment
