Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Working Hours: Full-time, Monday-Friday

About the Client

Our client is an established engineering and manufacturing business specialising in the design and manufacture of complex electrical and electromechanical systems for demanding industrial, defence and marine applications.

With a strong focus on engineering quality, technical innovation and delivering bespoke solutions, they work on a range of specialist projects where reliability, safety and performance are essential.

Due to continued engineering requirements, they are looking to expand their design team and are keen to speak with Electrical Design Engineers at varying levels of experience.

About the Role

This is an excellent opportunity for an Electrical Design Engineer to join a technically focused engineering team, contributing to the design and development of electrical systems and solutions from initial concept through to manufacture, assembly and testing.

The position can be tailored to suit the experience of the successful individual, whether you are an Electrical Design Engineer looking to develop your technical capabilities or an established Senior Engineer capable of taking ownership of complex design projects.

Working closely with mechanical design and wider engineering teams, you will help ensure designs meet customer specifications, relevant industry standards and legislative requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Produce detailed electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and associated engineering drawings.
• Develop electrical designs, including system layouts, power distribution and component selection.
• Produce Bills of Materials (BOMs) and supporting technical documentation.
• Design and develop control panels, motor starter panels and electrical distribution systems.
• Work with PLC, control and instrumentation systems, including integration of variable speed drives.
• Ensure electrical designs meet relevant technical specifications, safety standards and legislative requirements.
• Support design reviews, technical assessments and design verification activities.
• Work collaboratively with mechanical design engineers to deliver fully integrated engineering solutions.
• Assist with testing, commissioning and resolving technical design issues.
• Contribute to design calculations, test plans, risk assessments and technical compliance documentation.

About You

We are interested in speaking with Electrical Design Engineers across a range of experience levels, from engineers looking for their next development opportunity through to senior-level professionals with extensive design experience.

Ideally, you will have:

• Experience in electrical design within an engineering, manufacturing or industrial environment.
• A background in electrical power systems, control panel design or low-voltage power distribution.
• Experience producing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and technical drawings.
• Knowledge of electrical component selection and system design.
• Exposure to control systems, PLCs, variable speed drives, motor starters or switchboards.
• An understanding of electrical safety, technical compliance and relevant industry standards.
• Experience using EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical or another electrical CAD package.

The following would also be advantageous:

• Experience within the aerospace, defence, marine or MOD sectors.
• Control and instrumentation design experience.
• Familiarity with Siemens TIA Portal, PROFIBUS or PROFINET.
• Knowledge of FMEA, reliability analysis and safety assessments.
• Experience with electrical testing, automation and commissioning.
• A degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.

You should be hands-on, technically minded and comfortable working both independently and as part of a wider engineering team. Most importantly, we are keen to hear from engineers who can bring solid electrical design experience and are looking to develop their careers within a specialist engineering environment.
