Electrical Design Engineer - LVAC​/Power Systems

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.

You'll play a key role in the design and development of LVAC electrical systems, supporting both new product development and existing production activity.

• Electrical design of LVAC systems, switch gear, 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

• Background as an Electrical Design Engineer or electrically biased Electro-Mechanical Engineer
• Proven experience working with LVAC / low-voltage electrical systems
• Exposure to switch gear, 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

• HNC / HND or Degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)

• 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

• 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
