Contract:

Permanent

The Company

An independent, industry-leading manufacturer of world-class automated and special purpose machinery. Known for engineering excellence and innovation, this business designs and builds high-performance equipment supplied to customers globally.

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on Electrical Engineer with a passion for design to step into a role where you can truly make an impact.

You will be responsible for producing control panel layouts, detailed schematic drawings, component and cable specifications, and providing technical support throughout the project lifecycle.

You’ll work closely with the Projects team and will have the opportunity to interact directly with customers, including occasional travel to customer sites, giving you exposure from concept through to installation and commissioning.

Key Responsibilities

* Design control panel layouts and electrical schematics

* Produce detailed component and cable specifications

* Support projects from design through to build and installation

* Collaborate closely with internal engineering and project teams

* Engage with customers when required

About You

* Electrically qualified (ideally HNC / HND / Degree)

* Practical electrical wiring experience (mechanical knowledge beneficial)

* Experience in control panel design

* Background in automated or special purpose machinery

* PLC knowledge desirable (Mitsubishi, Allen Bradley, Siemens)

* EPLAN experience advantageous but not essential

This role would be ideal for someone who has been a hands-on Electrical Engineer and now wants to combine practical knowledge with design responsibility in a forward-thinking engineering environment.
