Applications Engineer - Mechanical

Energy & Industrial Engineering

Derbyshire

£30,000 to £50,000+ (DOE)

We're recruiting on behalf of a rapidly growing international engineering business supporting major projects across the energy and industrial sectors.

As part of a significant growth and transformation programme, they're expanding their technical capability across gas turbine power systems, hydrogen, carbon capture, grid infrastructure, industrial energy recovery, water treatment and nuclear.

They're now looking for Mechanical Applications Engineers to join the technical arm of their Sales team, providing the engineering expertise behind complex customer solutions from initial enquiry and concept development through to proposal, costing and contract award.

What you'll do

  • Develop preliminary engineering concepts and technical solutions during the sales and bid phase
  • Carry out engineering calculations across mechanical and process equipment
  • Review customer specifications, drawings, technical requirements and international standards
  • Support solutions involving equipment such as pressure vessels, heat exchangers, piping systems, modular skids, structural frames, filtration and noise-control systems
  • Prepare technical documents, sketches and specifications to support accurate project costing
  • Coordinate internal and external cost estimates and produce bid cost sheets
  • Develop detailed technical proposals that meet customer and project requirements
  • Work closely with Sales, Engineering, Project Management, Supply Chain and external suppliers
  • Attend customer meetings in the UK and internationally
  • Support projects from initial enquiry through to contract award and successful project launch

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
