Designing electrical control systems and circuits for bespoke engineering projects. Producing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts and supporting engineering documentation. Creating and maintaining Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering records. Carrying out electrical calculations including cable sizing, load calculations, protection device selection and power distribution. Reviewing customer specifications and developing practical engineering solutions. Managing electrical design packages from concept through to final release.

Supporting prototype builds, testing, commissioning and product validation. Providing technical support to production, installation and service teams. Liaising directly with customers and internal stakeholders throughout project delivery. Ensuring all designs comply with relevant electrical standards, CE/UKCA requirements and company procedures. Supporting engineering change processes and continuous improvement initiatives. Identifying opportunities to improve product performance, reduce costs and enhance manufacturability.
