West Coast Scotland (Beith)

Nine Twenty Engineering & Manufacturing are supporting Armstrong Chemtec Group as they look to appoint a Process Engineer into their UK team.

Armstrong Chemtec are a globally recognised engineering business, specialising in the design and manufacture of proprietary heat transfer and process equipment for hazardous and complex environments. With over 60 years of engineering expertise and a strong US heritage, they support major international customers across the oil & gas, petrochemical and energy sectors.

This is a brand-new role, created to build process engineering capability in the UK and reduce reliance on the US team - offering a unique opportunity to be part of a growing function within a well-established global business.

The Opportunity

This is a front-end, process design-focused role, sitting at the intersection of engineering and commercial delivery.

You won’t be running a plant - instead, you’ll be:

• Designing technical solutions

• Interpreting customer requirements

• Producing proposals and estimates

• Supporting the sales process from an engineering perspective

You’ll be working on bespoke equipment solutions, supporting large-scale international projects with global clients and EPCs.

It’s ideal for someone who enjoys the analytical, problem-solving and design side of engineering, rather than day-to-day operations.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Reviewing and triaging incoming technical enquiries

• Interpreting process data, customer specifications and datasheets

• Carrying out process design calculations and equipment sizing

• Developing budget estimates and progressing to detailed proposals

• Supporting ongoing technical clarifications with customers (often over extended timelines)

• Contributing to both new equipment and aftermarket / retrofit enquiries

• Working closely with the US process engineering team, learning established design rules and proprietary systems

What We’re Looking For

We’re open on experience level - this could suit someone early in their career or a more experienced engineer:

You will likely have:

• A degree in Chemical Engineering / Process Engineering (or similar)

• A genuine interest in process design and engineering calculations

• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving ability

• Confidence to make decisions and work independently

• Ability to manage multiple live enquiries and priorities

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage customers technically

Desirable experience:

• Heat transfer / thermal processes

• Oil & gas, petrochemical or related process industries

• Exposure to ASME or similar design standards

• Experience in applications, proposals or front-end engineering

Why This Role is Different

• You’ll focus on engineering thinking and design, not operations

• Work on bespoke, technically complex solutions, not standardised systems

• Gain exposure to decades of proprietary engineering knowledge

• Be part of building a new UK engineering capability within Armstrong Chemtec

• Work with major global clients and EPC projects

Package & Benefits

• Competitive salary depending on experience

• Profit share scheme

• Enhanced pension contribution

• Early finish on Fridays

• Strong overall benefits package

Next Steps

If you’re a Process / Chemical Engineer who enjoys the design, analytical and problem-solving side of engineering, this is a fantastic opportunity to step into a role with real impact and long-term development.
