Leading and developing the engineering team
Taking ownership of product development projects from concept through to launch
Designing and developing new products around customer and market requirements
Managing product certification and keeping existing approvals compliant
Working with standards including ATEX, IECEx, UKEX and other international approvals
Arranging product testing and working through technical or certification issues
Supporting Sales with more complex customer requirements
Working closely with Production and Quality to make sure products can be manufactured properly
Producing and approving technical drawings and product documentation
Driving improvements across engineering processes and product developmentThey are looking for someone with a strong engineering background who has worked around product design, development or R&D.

Experience with hazardous area products or equipment
Knowledge of ATEX, IECEx, UKEX or similar certification standards
Product design and development experience
Experience leading, mentoring or managing engineers
A good understanding of electrical engineering principles
Experience using SolidWorks, AutoCAD or similar design software
Experience within manufacturing, oil and gas, petrochemical, process, marine or another regulated engineering environment
