Title: Electrical Design Engineer

Reports to: Electrical Design Lead

Contract: Permanent Placement

Join Armstrong Fluid Technology, a global leader in fluid‑flow innovation with over 1,400 colleagues across eight manufacturing facilities worldwide. At Armstrong, we don’t just design and manufacture products. We engineer solutions that make a lasting difference for our customers and the planet.

We are seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to support the design and delivery of electrical systems within Armstrong’s modular HVAC, packaged plant room, and capital equipment solutions. The successful candidate will be responsible for producing compliant, safe, and cost‑effective electrical designs that align with customer specifications, industry standards, and internal quality procedures.

This is a technically focused role requiring hands‑on design capability, strong collaboration with mechanical and manufacturing teams, and a detailed understanding of electrical standards and regulations.

• Undertake electrical designs in accordance with company Standard Operating Procedures (SOP EBD-PP-001).
• Carry out design feasibility studies including assessment of supply characteristics, load balance, earthing, and cable sizing.
• Produce accurate load schedules, cable calculations, and protective device coordination studies using Trimble Pro Design or equivalent software.
• Prepare detailed design deliverables including Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), block cable diagrams, switchboard layouts, and earthing/bonding schematics.

• Ensure all designs meet applicable standards, including BS 7671, IEC 60204-1, EN 60364-1, and relevant EU/UK directives (Machinery, Low Voltage, EMC).
• Conduct and document peer reviews to verify compliance, buildability, and maintainability of electrical designs.
• Integrate safety considerations such as isolation, lock‑off, and access provisions within the design.

• Liaise with Mechanical, Controls, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to ensure system integration and production readiness.
• Support procurement and production teams through design clarification, technical queries, and design change coordination.
• Participate in design review meetings and ensure timely delivery of electrical documentation to meet project schedules.

• Maintain up‑to‑date design records, revision control, and design change logs.
• Generate and manage documentation for approval, including design risk assessments and component data sheets.
• Support the creation of electrical drawing packs for build and test, ensuring accuracy and traceability.
• Identify opportunities to standardize and simplify design processes across multiple project types.
• Contribute to the development of design templates, component libraries, and digital design tools.
• Support lessons‑learned sessions and feedback into design practice improvements.

To thrive in this role, you should bring:

• Strong attention to technical accuracy, compliance, and detail.
• Collaborative approach with mechanical and manufacturing disciplines.
• Ability to interpret complex specifications and apply sound engineering judgment.
• Effective communication and documentation skills for multidisciplinary environments.

• Undertake electrical designs in accordance with company Standard Operating Procedures (SOP EBD-PP-001).
• Carry out preliminary assessments, including analysis of supply characteristics, earthing arrangements, and cable requirements.
• Review project P&IDs, mechanical submittals, and motor data sheets to inform design.
• Perform load calculations and prepare accurate load schedules with diversity factors applied.
• Produce detailed Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), earthing and bonding diagrams, and cable schedules.
• Experienced using Trimble Pro Design or equivalent software to generate:
• Switchboard and distribution board layouts/schedules
• Fault current, disconnection time, and discrimination studies
• Prepare block cable diagrams and, where applicable,…
