Company Description
Rotork is the market-leading global flow control and instrumentation company, helping our customers manage the flow or liquids, gases and powders across many industries worldwide.
Our purpose is Keeping the World Flowing for Future Generations.
For over sixty years, the world has relied on us to create the things that keep everything moving. From oil and gas to water and shipping, pharmaceuticals and food- these are the flows on which our modern world depends.
Today we're respected and admired for our people, performance and products. Our success flows from our commitment to engineering excellence, and that's what we will always pursue, safely and sustainably.
Job Description
Do you love to code? Want to accelerate your career by working on Rotork’s most transformational programme? This is your chance to step into a high‑impact engineering role and help shape the next generation of our global configuration and data systems.
Join the DRIVE programme, work on CERES, one of Rotork’s most strategically important tools, and gain hands‑on experience with modern engineering practices that will strengthen your technical career for years to come.
Why This Role Is Exciting
This secondment isn’t just covering capacity - it’s a genuine opportunity to:
- Build and enhance a mission-critical application used across Engineering, Product Management, Operations, Sales, and Manufacturing
- Work with modern technologies (TypeScript, Node.js, React, Next.js, SQL Server)
- Influence the systems that underpin Rotork’s business transformation
- Collaborate with expert engineers and functional teams across the globe
- Develop new processes, standards, and governance within the DRIVE programme
- Gain experience in enterprise-scale change across D365 (CE & FO)
You'll step into an environment where your work directly shapes how the business configures products, quotes orders, builds actuators, and delivers customer value.
About CERES - The Tool You’ll Help Develop
CERES is Rotork’s product configuration engine of the future. Built in-house by Engineering Services, it simplifies, accelerates, and standardises the creation of product configurator models used in e-Con.
CERES matters because it:
- Sits above e‑Con as a smarter, more intuitive interface
- Translates business rules into e-Con model logic
- Ensures configurator accuracy for quoting, ordering, and manufacturing
- Holds product metadata essential for pricing, clauses, lead times, and configurator outputs
- Will soon push standardised models directly into D365 FO and CE
Tech Stack You’ll Work With
- TypeScript + Node.js (backend services)
- React + Next.js (UI and rendering)
- WebPack (bundling)
- SQL Server (data & metadata)
If you want to sharpen or expand your full‑stack engineering skills, CERES is the perfect project.
