Mechanical Engineer

About the role

The Applications Engineer for Custom Equipment and Quoting applies technical expertise to evaluate field-developed specifications, generate competitive quotes for custom fluid transfer systems, and design safe, workable, and highly manufacturable fluid transfer solutions. This role bridges the gap between sales and production by creating designs that meet customer specifications and applicable engineering standards.

Responsibilities

• Estimation & Quoting:
  • Utilize technical knowledge and field-provided data to quote custom pipe and swivel equipment (loading arms) and complex terminal layouts.
  • Meet or exceed departmental KPIs for quote accuracy, technical verification, and speed of quote turnaround to maximize sales conversion.
  • Ensure all custom loading arm configurations and engineering quotes are both highly accurate and economical for the customer and production.
  • Create detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) and support manufacturing to ensure quoted solutions transfer seamlessly to the production floor.
• Sales Collaboration:
  • Act as the primary technical partner to internal sales teams, translating regional sales notes and field requirements into viable commercial options.
• Cross-Functional Communication:
  • Coordinate and communicate with sales, engineering, manufacturing, and other internal departments to streamline the quoting-to-purchase order pipeline.
• Design:
  • Provide advanced CAD designs, system layouts, and 3D models to customer specifications and applicable engineering standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (BSME / BSMET).
• 2 years of professional engineering or technical quoting experience.
• 2 years of experience using 3D CAD programs (Creo/ProE preferred) and 2D CAD (AutoCAD preferred).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with custom piping design, pressure vessels, swivels, or custom equipment layouts.
• Experience using product configuration, Excel, and quoting software alongside a working knowledge of Oracle ERP.
• Proven ability to solve practical field problems and deal with variables in custom, non-standardized engineering situations.
• Working knowledge of ASME B31.3 and Boiler Pressure Vessel Code.
• Strong math skills, excellent communication skills (verbal and written), and a high level of customer focus.
• Self-directed, positive, and ethical; able to work with minimal supervision.
• Fully observe Dover’s code of ethical conduct, employee handbook policies, and ISO quality system standards.
