Application Engineer - Crushing/Aggregates

About the role

ICM Solutions is a well-established, multi-state organization with a strong regional footprint and a leading reputation for delivering exceptional equipment and service solutions across the industrial, crushing, and mining markets. When a customer tells us they need 300 tons an hour of a particular product out of a particular pit, someone has to decide what that plant looks like and then stand behind the number. That is this job. The Application Engineer owns the technical solution on turnkey and engineer-to-order projects: the circuit, the equipment selection, the layout of the critical transfer points, and the throughput we commit to in writing. You are there at the beginning when the promise is made and there at the end when it gets tested, and you are accountable for the distance between the two. The Project Manager owns whether the job lands on time and on budget. You own whether it works.

Responsibilities

• Characterize the feed: gradation, moisture, abrasiveness, and the gap between what the customer says they have and what they actually have
• Design the circuit: flowsheet, mass balance, circulating loads, open versus closed circuit decisions
• Select and size equipment: crushers, screens, feeders, conveyors, and surge capacity
• Own layout and transition design on critical scope, including material trajectory, drop heights, chute and hood geometry, and anything feeding or discharging a guaranteed piece of equipment
• Coordinate with equipment vendors and evaluate proposed alternates
• Commit throughput and product specifications, and write the qualifiers that go around them
• Write the technical scope of supply in language that holds up commercially
• Provide the technical basis for the estimate and lead the pursuit as quote owner
• Act as technical authority through detailed design, with veto over substitutions
