Applications Engineer (Mechanical) – P&ID / Technical Applications Focus
Location: Dumbarton, UK
Contract: Permanent, Full-Time (Flexitime)
Eligibility: Applicants MUST already have the right to work in the UK. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship or assistance.
We’re a leading global specialist in advanced industrial technologies and solutions for the power generation and heavy industrial sectors. We’re looking for a technically strong, customer-focused Mechanical Engineer to join our Commercial Operations team in Dumbarton.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer who is confident working with Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and enjoys applying first-principles engineering knowledge to real customer challenges — combining technical depth with proposals, applications support, and client engagement.
About the Role
You will be the key technical expert helping customers select, configure, and apply our specialised industrial equipment. A core part of the role is creating, reviewing, and revising P&IDs, alongside performing calculations and delivering strong technical proposals that lead to successful project outcomes. You’ll work closely with Sales, Contracts, and Aftermarket teams.
