- Provide responsive technical support to customers via telephone and email
- Collaborate with internal engineering, production, and project teams to ensure design intent is achieved
- Support product development discussions and contribute to continuous improvement of designs and processes
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of emerging technologies, engineering methods, and industry best practice
- Ensure compliance with relevant engineering standards and customer requirements
Skills & Experience Required:
- Degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering or related discipline, or relevant industry experience
- Min 1 year experience in electrical design engineering within a manufacturing, machinery, automation, or equipment environment
- Proficiency in electrical design software (e.g. AutoCAD Electrical or similar)
- Strong understanding of electrical systems, schematic design, and control principles
- Experience working on full project lifecycle from concept through to production and commissioning
- Ability to interpret technical data and translate requirements into practical engineering solutions
- Experience working with manufacturing or production teams in a hands-on engineering environment
- Understanding of design for manufacture and assembly principles
- Experience using MRP/ERP systems and managing technical documentation
