Develop accurate technical and commercial proposals for engineered equipment packages.
Liaise with engineering and design teams to establish suitable equipment configurations.
Select appropriate materials, flow-control, sealing, cooling and instrumentation systems.
Perform calculations covering equipment sizing, gas densities, pressure losses, flows, power and torque.
Prepare supplier RFQs and estimate material, labour and manufacturing costs.
Prepare technical and commercial deviations and clarifications.
Maintain bid records, follow up opportunities and support customer meetings and project handovers.
Skills & Knowledge Required
Degree in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, physical science, engineering or mathematics.
Experience working within an engineering or manufacturing environment.
Ability to read P&IDs and other engineering documentation.
Knowledge of fluid-handling equipment and/or rotating machinery.
Strong numerical ability and confidence working with technical data.
Previous proposals, estimating or internal technical sales experience is desirable.
Excellent communication, organisation and problem-solving skills.
