Electrical Design Engineer

Job description

Role Purpose

As an Electrical Design Engineer, you will play a key role in developing safe, compliant, and efficient electrical designs for bespoke modular solutions and engineered systems. You’ll work closely with multidisciplinary teams — including project engineers, fabrication teams, and site services — to produce detailed electrical design documentation, layouts, calculations and ensure technical excellence from concept through delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop detailed electrical design solutions for modular energy, electrical systems, and engineered products.
• Produce technical drawings and documents including single-line diagrams, schematics, layouts, cable schedules and design specifications.
• Perform electrical calculations and component selection that meet regulatory, safety, and client requirements.
• Collaborate with project teams (mechanical, structural, fabrication, project management) to ensure design integration and constructability.
• Contribute to project planning and support design reviews, value engineering sessions, and technical meetings.
• Ensure electrical designs comply with relevant UK and international standards, codes, and best practices including BS 7671/IET Wiring Regulations.
• Support site activities as required (design queries, technical clarifications, commissioning support).
• Maintain accurate design records and ensure adherence to company quality and safety systems.

Qualifications & Experience

Essential:

• Degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related discipline.
• Proven experience in electrical design engineering (typically 3+ years).
• Strong technical understanding of electrical systems, layouts, wiring, and protection design.
• Competence producing detailed design documentation and technical drawings.
• Sound knowledge of UK electrical standards and statutory regulations.
• Proficiency with electrical design tools such as AutoCAD, and/or relevant design/calculation software.

Desirable:

• Experience with modular or containerised solutions, hazardous area design, or energy storage/hybrid systems.
• Knowledge of cable routing, LV/HV systems up to relevant voltages, and power distribution.
• Familiarity with engineering lifecycle processes, project delivery, and multidisciplinary integration.

Skills & Attributes

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Clear communication skills, capable of working with internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Able to manage multiple tasks and work to deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
