This role focuses on producing accurate, build-ready EPLAN Electric design packs for BMS control panels used across HVAC plant and building services.
You will convert specifications and control philosophies into schematics and documentation that enable efficient manufacture, testing and installation.
Day-to-day, you will create schematics, GA layouts, wiring and terminal schedules, I/O schedules, cable lists and BOMs, and generate production outputs (wire lists, marker data, drilling files). Designs will comply with BS EN 61439 and BS 7671, covering protection coordination, segregation, earthing, EMC and thermal considerations. You will select and arrange hardware, I/O modules, relays, contactors, starters, VSD interfaces, isolators, MCBs and UPS arrangements.
Network topologies will typically include BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU/TCP and M-Bus, with clear addressing and documentation for commissioning.
The role will also support the company’s shift from manual to semi-automated manufacturing. You will help develop standard templates, symbol libraries, macros, reporting formats and digital work instructions. EPLAN outputs will be used to drive automated cut/strip/print, CNC drilling and consistent labelling, reducing RFIs and rework.
You will contribute to FAT procedures, produce as-builts, and coordinate with production and site teams to close issues quickly.
What you gain
* Clear ownership of EPLAN deliverables from design through FAT and into as-built documentation.
* Exposure to manufacturing methods and DFM/DFT, building practical understanding of how design choices affect build time and quality.
* A defined route to influence standards (libraries, macros, QA checklists), with visibility of the impact on throughput and right-first-time rates.
What success looks like
* Weeks 1–4: EPLAN packs issued to standard; minimal clarifications; correct reports generated for manufacture.
* By 3 months: libraries/macros adopted by the team; measurable reduction in build queries and clearer labelling/test documentation.
* By 6–12 months: semi-automated outputs embedded end-to-end on typical panels; reduced rework and shorter build cycles evidenced by production metrics.
Package and location
Office-based in Buckinghamshire. Salary £45,000–£50,000 per annum, contributory pension, 20 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays, and discretionary bonuses linked to company and personal targets.
If you want focused EPLAN design work with direct feedback from manufacture and test, this role offers straightforward scope to standardise, improve and document repeatable outcomes.
