HVAC Applications Engineer

Overview

We are recruiting an Applications Engineer to join a specialist engineering manufacturer delivering bespoke air management and cooling solutions for commercial, industrial, and data-led environments. This role sits at the intersection of engineering design, technical sales support, and project delivery, supporting clients with engineered solutions tailored to each application.
