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.Applications Engineer previous suitable job titles: Design Engineer, Project Engineer, Project Design Engineer, 3D CAD Technician, 3D Design Technician, 3d Design Engineer, Draughtsperson, Mechanical Design Engineer, Mechanical Design Technician, Proposal Engineer

A Toolmaker within our company would ultimately be responsible for the building, maintaining and repairing of precision Aerospace, Defence and Gas Turbine Dies, Fixtures and Jigs. Working with precision instruments, interpreting 3D CAD models and undertaking complex machining tasks to build the desired tool.
The following activities could be involved in a typical workday as experience and skill level increase.
1. Manual Milling
2. Manual Turning
3. Surface Grinding
4. Hand Fitting & problem solving from issues found which can happen when making a one off
5. Metal polishing up to a mirror finish
6. Inspection using both manual methods and a computer controlled CMM Inspection machine
7. Tooling tests using our 50-tonne wax injection press
8. Spark Erosion
9. Wire Erosion
10. Electrode manufacture
We have a wealth of experienced engineers across our business, who have worked within this industry for many years. Their knowledge and ability is so valuable, and to the right candidate, a great base to start a career within an industry that shows no signs of slowing down. Everything we manufacture is a one off, we can’t prove anything out first, so technique, attention to detail and concentration is vital. This is where our training program comes into its own, as our aim is that by the time you have finished your apprenticeship, you will be on the shop floor, producing these components, almost unaided, just with the occasional advice or support, that even more experienced engineers require from time to time.Training:Duration approximately 40-45 months.
Duration approximately 40-45 months.
Years 1/2 includes 20-42 weeks off the job training plus 1 day per week in a classroom setting to cover practical and theory aspects and complete EAL Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering - Development Knowledge
Years 3/4 based full time in company developing skills in preparation for the end point assessment to gain your Engineering Technician- Toolmaker qualification.
You will receive monthly visits from your assigned Learning and Development Specialist, who will set you work, monitor your development and wellbeing, and discuss training sessions. They will also prepare you for your End Point Assessment.
Additional training for functional skills in English and Maths will be undertaken if needed.
There is also a five-day teambuilding residential trip that is held in the spring of each year offered to all apprentices on programme.Training Outcome:Within our field of engineering, you never stop learning. You will start at the bottom learning the basic hand skills required to build the tools we make. This will then progress on to more and more difficult tasks as you progress as an apprentice and then hopefully a qualified toolmaker. Metal polishing and finishing, spark erosion and wire erosion, electrode manufacture, showing around and communicating with customers.Employer Description:Now in our 13th year of business, Altaras has grown to be one of the market leading, “go to” Toolmakers worldwide, not just in the UK.
