We are recruiting two Electrical Design Engineers to join a growing engineering team delivering innovative water and wastewater treatment projects across the UK.
The positions are available on either a permanent or contract basis and can be based remotely within the UK or from the client's London office. Although predominantly home-based, the roles will require travel to panel manufacturers and fabricators across the UK to carry out inspections and support project delivery.
Working across multiple projects simultaneously, you will be responsible for developing the electrical design documentation required to support the manufacture, installation and commissioning of automated treatment systems. You will work as part of multidisciplinary project teams and, following an initial induction period, must be comfortable managing your own workload and delivering work with limited supervision.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Producing electrical schedules, specifications and other design documentation
- Preparing technical requirements for control panels and associated electrical equipment
- Supporting the procurement of control panels and electrical packages
- Reviewing panel designs and supplier documentation
- Inspecting control panels at UK manufacturing facilities
- Coordinating with process, mechanical, project and commissioning engineers
- Liaising with clients, Tier 1 contractors, suppliers and panel manufacturers
- Ensuring designs meet project requirements, applicable standards and client specifications
- Providing technical support throughout manufacture, installation, testing and commissioning
About you:
- An experienced Electrical Design Engineer
- Background in electrical engineering for process plant, packaged equipment, industrial automation or a related environment
- Experience producing electrical specifications and schedules
- Knowledge of control panels, motor control, instrumentation and automated systems
- Able to review technical submissions and inspect completed control panels
- Comfortable working independently within a project team
- Able to manage competing priorities across multiple live projects
- Strong communication and supplier-management skills
- Willing and able to travel to panel manufacturers and project locations within the UK
Previous experience within the water or wastewater industry would be advantageous, particularly experience working with UK water companies or Tier 1 contractors, but candidates from other relevant process or industrial sectors will also be considered.
The company is particularly interested in speaking with experienced Senior or Principal Electrical Engineers who could join permanently and act as the team’s electrical technical authority. However, applications are equally welcomed from capable Electrical Design Engineers and contractors who can provide immediate project-delivery support.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business delivering innovative, fully automated treatment systems for major UK water-sector clients.
