Ref: PTR10/965
Location: Staffordshire
Description: Mechanical Process professional required within a busy filtration solutions provider, to undertake a range of design, specification and delivery of bespoke projects for a diverse range of applications.
Salary: to £40k dependant upon experience
Our established and highly successful Staffordshire based client specialise in the manufacture of industrial filtration solutions for a diverse range of applications, and as a result of a recent strategic succession planning exercise, are now seeking to recruit an extremely enthusiastic, self motivated and experienced Mechanical/Process Engineer to compliment their existing team within their newly acquired specialist process subsidiary business.
The successful candidate will have a proven technical background gained within a process engineering environment and will demonstrate comprehensive skills and experience in the design, specification, manufacturing and troubleshooting of fluid filtration systems, alongwith excellent project management and organisational skills and the ability to communicate at all levels with customers and suppliers alike.
This is very much a hands on role, that will involve travel to both domestic and overseas customer sites to assist with the installation, commissioning and training of customers on plant operation, so flexibility and excellent customer facing liaison skills are a prerequisite. Reporting directly to the Operations Director, you will be responsible for the day to day management of the operational activities of the site, and will act as the main interface between the technical plant specification and the customer plant installation, as well as overseeing ongoing maintenance contracts and service schedules and undertaking plant performance troubleshooting activities where required.
You will work closely with the Technical Director in specifying plant design, following plant evaluation trials, before taking the designs to be specified, costed and presented to the customer along with the Sales Director. Upon confirmation of the order, you will project manage the system/plant through to completion, which will involve working closely with sub-contract partners through to in-house assembly/test run before the plant is shipped to site, and you will then assist in the on-site installation, plant commissioning and on-site personnel training.
You will assist in specifying a detailed schedule of components, following on-site trials and in the pre-assembly of new plants in the workshop and at customer premises. It is essential that you be PC literate with a good level of AutoCAD knowledge to help with the preparation of detailed system layout drawings along with process flow diagrams, as well as possessing previous experience of the costing of individual components with sub-suppliers/contractors, undertaking the compilation of draft/detailed plant proposals and working closely with sub-contractors on all aspects of process system manufacture from electrical, mechanical, material selection and process/component improvement. In addition, you will work closely with customers on all aspects of on-going plant performance, implementation of plant maintenance contracts, plant health checks and plant operation troubleshooting and undertake the preparation of operation and maintenance manuals, whilst developing filter cleaning procedures for each new installation where appropriate.
