Kettering, United Kingdom Catfoss Recruitment Ltd Full time

Our client is a leading engineering business that has been established for over half a century providing mechanical handling solutions to many industries across the globe.

They are looking to strengthen their projects & design team by recruiting an additional Applications Engineer to their successful team on a permanent basis.

If you have previous design (3D), applications and or project experience within materials handling equipment (conveyors) or sheet metal industry experience and are looking to join a highly stable company who can offer a competitive salary then apply now for immediate consideration.

Applications Engineer

* Design plant layouts and engineering solutions for the Sales department using 3D software (SolidWorks) and 2D software;
* Learn about and use 3D software and related applications in order to improve the clarity and appeal of our Sales designs;
* Offer all reasonable design and technical support to the Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Projects and R&D departments within the Company when needed.

Applications Engineer - Sales and Marketing Duties

* Create 3D layouts of company equipment for sales projects.
* Ensure our Sales designs and layouts are visually appealing, occupy a minimum footprint, follow the Company's design rules, and offer a clear concept to our customers.
* Pick up a Sales enquiry and devise what is needed for the 3D layout. (This can follow with time but we need to reduce the current bottleneck of Sales people having to coordinate all tasks on a project.
* The Applications Engineer should, with time, be able to understand an incoming enquiry and begin the technical tasks, particularly the drawing work, without waiting for instruction from others).
* In time, work alone to configure equipment and systems and set these out in 3D for the Sales department.
* Create a library of 3D, plug-and-play Sales models for all company products. These models are to be compatible with our end-product designs so that our Sales layouts contain accurate sizings and flows but are fast to create.
* Create low-res shells of the Engineering modules making up our standard products. These shells are to be accurate for use by both the Sales and the Engineering department in General Arrangement drawings.
* Produce designs and 3D views for the Company's Marketing tools and OMIs.
* Follow the latest developments in 3D software, and in our sector, and use this knowledge in the Company's design output to improve the Company's strike-rate in sales.

This includes:
* Animating designs to show materials flowing over the system, access areas and maintenance tasks for operators, flybys and 360-degree views, all in minimised file sizes
* Linking our 3D designs to laser site scans to show new 3D designs in existing site locations
* Producing First Person walkthroughs for the customer to control
* Creating a configurator of 3D blocks on our website to allow users to build up a Sales layout with our products for the Company to quote
* Linking 3D layout software to our project programmes in MS Project to show site build phases in 3D against the runtime of the programme in MS Project
* Find other such combinations and possibilities to make our Sales designs inspiring to our customers, stakeholders, suppliers and those following us in the media.

* Create a database of all customer sites and list what company equipment is in use there with latest drawings and photos.
* Produce attractive flow diagrams to show in simple form what the 3D design is doing with the materials it is processing (in MS Visio or similar).
* Create mass balances of materials flowing and dividing over the 3D layout (this is a rare requirement, but it would be very handy).
* Provide monthly reports detailing statistical information relating to sales, if required.
* Attend site as and when necessitated by the circumstances of a particular project.
* Assist members of the Sales team during tender submissions.
* Benchmark competitor marketing activity/techniques, as well as those used outside our sector to maximise the effectiveness of our Sales design output.

Applications Engineer - General Engineering Duties

* Carry out engineering work for the Projects department in the form of Project Engineering tasks and/or detailed design to help release work to the factory, if needed.
* Take time to understand the design-to-manufacture process in order to suggest improvements based on your experience e.g. automated BOM creation from SolidWorks.
* Help write and develop company Design Rules
* Help create a Library of Machines containing all the pertinent information we collectively hold about every product integrated in our layouts.
* Work on the development of any standard or non-standard machines and applications.
* Work on the Company's ongoing Product Standardisation programme and its improvements programme.
* Produce drawings for new products and to offer input on any R&D project occurring within the Company.
