We’re working with an innovative clean energy business developing hydrogen fuel cell and power generation systems as they scale their engineering team.
They’re looking for a Senior Electrical & Controls Engineer to play a key role in developing and delivering next-generation energy systems.
Senior Electrical & Controls Engineer
Cranleigh, Surrey (Hybrid + Flexible work)

· Lead electrical design delivery across R&D and project work
· Define system architectures and undertake design trade-offs
· Produce electrical schematics (single line & detailed wiring)
· Develop specifications for electrical components (motors, transformers, protection systems)
· Support build, integration, and verification of systems
· Own documentation for compliance, validation, and manufacture
· Support safety reviews (HAZOP, SIL, LOPA, C&E)
· Fault finding, testing, and hands-on system evaluation
· Mentor junior engineers within the team
· Work cross-functionally with systems, product, and production teams
What They’re Looking For
· Strong background in electrical system design for industrial equipment
· Experience working to EN 60204 and BS7671 (18th Edition)
· Knowledge of functional safety (EN 61511)
· Experience with Siemens PLCs (hardware/software)
· Comfortable working across design & hands-on testing
· Degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering
Nice to Have

· EMC / EMI troubleshooting
· Low Voltage Authorised / Competent Person
· Experience with fuel cells, electrochemical systems, or energy systems
Why Join?
· Work on cutting-edge hydrogen technology
· Be part of a team moving from prototype, product, deployment
· High ownership, high impact engineering role
· Fast-moving, innovative environment
