Core Skillset:

General Arrangement Drawings and System Layout Experience.

• SolidWorks + AutoCAD (GA, Design & Detailing)
• Solid Steel/Tekla (for Structural Engineer Role only)
• Sheet metal and fabrication design.
• Structural steel and design calcs (for Structural Engineer Role only)
• Experience with special purpose machinery, ideally conveyors.
• Managing costs & BOMs
• ERP/MRP systems
• AI and Automation in Design
• Project Management
• Ideally, prior experience with recycling equipment

Core Design Duties:

1. To produce general arrangement drawings in 2D and/or 3D for the Projects and Sales departments. This involves the full engineering integration of the company's inhouse products (conveyors, structures, screens) with that of specialist third party manufacturers (shredders, magnets, optical sorters) to create a tailored plant layout within the space available without compromising material flow.
2. Structural Engineer: to have experience in designing platforms, stairs, access walkways, handrailing, legs, chutes and making design calculations.
3. To maximise space-saving techniques, material flow optimisation and process engineering within the GA to deliver class-leading designs.
4. To work with the Sales team or the Projects team to optimise a layout until it reaches the point of Design Freeze at which the customer signs off the GA to allow full project launch.
5. To ensure design quality, cost, time and standardisation are appropriately considered throughout the design and delivery process.
6. To use AutoCAD and SolidWorks as the main platforms for the above.

Project Engineering Duties:

1. Be hands-on, proactive and own the engineering development of a project from initial concept through design, release, manufacturing, testing and commissioning.
2. To model and detail detailed in-house products through to full release to the shopfloor producing detailed manufacturing drawings from 3D models (SolidWorks). This will involve using the Company's standards library and customising if necessary.
3. To create and release BOMs (Bill of Materials) within company MRP system.
4. To produce and maintain technical documents for the Engineering and Sales departments as well as manufacturing manuals, operating manuals, health and safety, maintenance etc.
5. To define product technical specifications taking into account both internal design standards and legislative/mandated industry standards.
6. To attend site to take or check measurements.
7. To liaise with customers to ensure the Company's efforts (in Engineering or otherwise) match their expectations for the Project.
8. To produce technical specifications for in-house products or those we purchase.
9. To challenge existing designs and manufacturing methods for the benefit of the Company and the customer.
10. To work closely with the Manufacturing department, Project Engineers and Sales team to ensure designed products meet the overall requirements of the business.
11. To liaise with both customers and suppliers to deliver the best solution possible.
12. To provide full engineering support on the project including at site whenever needed and particularly over Installation, Commissioning and Testing.
13. To give full support to the Project Manager over the course of the project and attend site as necessary to ensure the plant/machine is successfully commissioned and customer is delighted.
