Posted Updated
Discussion

As an Application Engineer for Conveying Solutions in APAC, you will play a critical technical role in defining, analyzing, and optimizing conveyor belt solutions for complex industrial applications. This position is designed for a talented, analytically driven engineer who enjoys solving real-world engineering problems and taking ownership of technical decisions that directly impact system performance, reliability, and total cost of ownership.

You will execute Application Engineering activities that support both short- and long-term segment strategies, enabling profitable growth and technical differentiation in the APAC market. Acting as a key technical interface between customers, sales teams, and global engineering functions, you will translate operating conditions and customer requirements into robust, data-driven conveyor solutions.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Performing application-level engineering analysis for conveyor belt systems, including assessment of operating conditions, duty requirements, loading scenarios, and environmental factors.
  • Selecting and recommending conveyor belt solutions based on engineering principles, standards, risk evaluation, and lifecycle cost considerations.
  • Applying analytical judgement to balance performance, safety margins, durability, and cost under real-world constraints.
  • Supporting sales channels with technically sound, value-based recommendations that differentiate ContiTech solutions.
  • Executing the segment strategy within your assigned markets and applications, contributing to over-proportional and profitable growth.
  • Collaborating with regional and global teams across Application Engineering, Product Management, R&D, and Sales.
  • Ensuring compliance with Continental engineering guidelines, quality standards, and internal policies.
  • Contributing to continuous improvement by sharing application insights, lessons learned, and best practices across the APAC organization.

This role offers a clear pathway to develop deep technical expertise in conveyor applications while expanding your influence across regional markets and global engineering networks.

We are seeking a technically strong, analytical engineer with a genuine interest in conveyor systems and industrial applications.

Required qualifications:

  • University degree in Engineering or Science, preferably Mechanical Engineering; Chemical or Materials Engineering will also be considered.
  • 1–2 years of professional experience in application engineering, conveyor systems, bulk material handling, technical sales, project engineering, technical consulting, or R&D.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals with the ability to apply analytical reasoning to complex, real-world applications.
  • Basic project management experience, ideally in a regional or international business environment.

Preferred qualifications and attributes:

  • Exposure to conveyor belt systems, mining, ports, power generation, cement, or heavy industrial applications.
  • An analytical mindset with the ability to structure complex problems, challenge assumptions, and justify recommendations using data and engineering principles.
  • Experience interpreting engineering standards, performing technical evaluations, or supporting failure and performance analysis.
  • Experience working in intercultural and interdisciplinary teams.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to engage both technical and commercial stakeholders.

Why Join ContiTech?

  • Work on large-scale, high-duty conveyor applications where engineering decisions have real operational and financial impact
  • Develop deep subject-matter expertise in conveying solutions within a globally recognized engineering organization
  • Apply analytical thinking and engineering judgement, not generic solutions
  • Gain regional APAC exposure while collaborating with global experts
  • Build a long-term technical career with clear development pathways
