Following continued success and a programme of strategic growth, the company is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic Electrical Engineer to complement their skilled and professional team.

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, the successful Electrical Engineer will support the engineering team in their industrial product range, contributing to the design of electrical equipment for industrial applications. The role involves implementing electrical best practices, adhering to industry standards, and collaborating with the design team to create innovative solutions. Hands‑on design experience and a solid grasp of both electrical and mechanical engineering principles are essential.

• Reviewing design requirements and producing design calculations, associated production documentation, and corresponding paperwork to manufacture designs.
• Approving drawings, BOMs and other design information issued for manufacture, and participating in R&D and product testing as required.
• Selecting electrical components for use in control systems.
• Creating 3D models (primarily sheet metal parts) and assemblies, issuing designs for manufacture through engineering drawings and supplementary documentation.
• Carrying out detailed electrical design work, including design verification testing, and reviewing and approving design information from other team members while ensuring adherence to relevant quality systems (primarily ISO 9001) and using Engineering Change Notifications (ECNs) to document changes.
• Conducting technical investigations, performing root‑cause analysis and initiating corrective actions as required.
• Providing technical support to Production, Sales, Service, and Customer Support departments as required.
• Delivering projects on schedule and within budget while managing a complex workload efficiently, ensuring compliance with design, regulatory, and industry standards, and identifying and applying new industry‑wide processes within the business where beneficial.

To be considered for this exceptional opportunity, the successful candidate will demonstrate at least four years of experience in an electrical design position and be qualified to HND level or above (or QBE) in an electrical engineering discipline.

You will be familiar with CE marking processes and DFMEA and possess proven experience in designing electrical equipment and/or machinery. Comprehensive skills in Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD, solid experience with MS Office, and exceptional communication skills at all levels are required. Working knowledge of mechanical engineering practices – including materials, FEA, fixings, fabrication, and the design of MV assemblies – and proficiency in utilising HV test techniques will be distinctly advantageous.
