Electrical Design Engineer – LVAC / Power Systems
Permanent | Office-Based | Engineering Environment
We’re recruiting an Electrical Design Engineer to strengthen an established engineering team working on low-voltage AC (LVAC) systems and power distribution equipment used within regulated, infrastructure-led applications.
This role is ideal for an engineer with a strong electrical background who enjoys working close to manufacture, understands standards and compliance, and wants to be involved across the full product lifecycle rather than purely desk-based design.
-----------------------------------
The Role
You’ll play a key role in the design and development of LVAC electrical systems, supporting both new product development and existing production activity.
Key responsibilities include:
* Electrical design of LVAC systems, switchgear, or power distribution equipment
* Producing and maintaining electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
* Supporting new product introduction (NPI) from concept through to production
* Ensuring designs comply with IEC / BS EN standards and internal quality procedures
* Supporting manufacturing, assembly, testing, and commissioning activities
* Assisting with fault investigation, root cause analysis, and design improvements
* Liaising with mechanical engineers, suppliers, and other internal stakeholders
* Occasional site visits for meetings, investigations, or support activities
-----------------------------------
What We’re Looking For
* Background as an Electrical Design Engineer or electrically biased Electro-Mechanical Engineer
* Proven experience working with LVAC / low-voltage electrical systems
* Exposure to switchgear, control panels, or power distribution equipment
* Experience producing electrical schematics and wiring documentation
* Understanding of engineering standards and compliance (IEC / BS EN)
* Comfortable supporting designs through manufacture and production
Qualifications
* HNC / HND or Degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
-----------------------------------
Desirable (Not Essential)
* Rail or infrastructure project exposure
* Experience in regulated or safety-critical industries
* Knowledge of testing, commissioning, or fault-finding
* Experience working in mixed electrical / mechanical engineering teams
-----------------------------------
Why Apply?
* Join a technically focused team with strong engineering depth
* Work on real-world LVAC systems, not consultancy-only design
* Long-term, stable permanent role
* Opportunity to influence designs from concept to manufacture
