Applications Engineer

Do you have practical electrical knowledge, confident 2D AutoCAD skills and enjoy seeing projects progress from drawings into finished products?

We're recruiting an Applications Engineer for an established manufacturer of low voltage electrical distribution equipment.

Specific switch gear experience is not essential. Training is available for someone with the right electrical fundamentals, drawing skills and practical engineering experience.

You'll help deliver electrical engineering projects once an order has been secured, combining AutoCAD design work with project coordination and regular time on the shop floor.

Typically managing three to four projects at different stages, you'll work closely with customers and colleagues in production, sales and site services to keep work moving through manufacture and delivery. Occasional customer or site visits will also form part of the role.

• Review customer requirements and prepare 2D AutoCAD layout and schematic drawings for approval.
• Put together component schedules, bills of materials and manufacturing information.
• Support production during the build, answering technical queries and checking progress.
• Check completed panels against project requirements before testing.
• Keep customers and colleagues updated on drawings, delivery dates and any changes.
• Help coordinate installation requirements, factory acceptance tests and customer visits where needed.

• Confident use of 2D AutoCAD
  .
• A sound understanding of electrical principles and the ability to interpret electrical drawings.
• An organised approach, with experience coordinating engineering projects, orders or workloads.
• Good communication skills and a practical approach to resolving problems.
• A willingness to work closely with the production team on the shop floor.

Your background could be in electrical contracting, electrical design, project engineering or electrical equipment manufacturing. You don't need to have held an Applications Engineer title.

Experience with LV switch gear would be useful, as would an HNC or another recognised engineering qualification, but neither is essential.
