Senior Electrical Engineer

Salary: From £60k (depending on experience)

Location: Washington, UK (NE37 3HB

Enspec is evolving its manufacturing capability, and this role sits at the heart of that shift. We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who combines deep technical expertise with hands‑on manufacturing experience. You will lead the delivery of high‑quality engineered products—harmonic filters, PFC equipment, and wider power‑quality systems—through accurate design, robust manufacturing packs, thorough testing, and strong root‑cause analysis.

You’ll act as a technical authority within our manufacturing environment, ensuring our products meet IEC/BSI standards, comply with grid codes, and are built reliably, safely, and to spec. You will also support onsite surveys to inform accurate design data, taking a share of the responsibilities currently held by junior engineers as the team develops.

This role requires initiative, high technical standards, and the ability to bridge design with real‑world manufacturing and testing.

• Manufacturing Delivery & Engineering Support
  • Produce complete, accurate, and manufacturable engineering packs—including schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, layouts, build instructions, and test plans.
  • Provide real‑time technical support to the manufacturing team during assembly, wiring, build, and FAT.
  • Lead fault diagnostics and root‑cause analysis for manufacturing issues, field returns, or test failures.
  • Own engineering change control and ensure updates flow efficiently into manufacturing documentation.
  • Coordinate and lead factory acceptance testing (FAT), including test documentation, witness testing and compliance checks.
  • Ensure all manufactured systems meet IEC, BSI and other relevant UK and international standards.
• Design & Technical Leadership
  • Lead the design and development of advanced electrical systems such as harmonic filters, power factor correction systems, switch gear interfaces and LV/HV assemblies.
  • Validate designs through calculation, simulation, or modelling as appropriate.
  • Drive continuous improvement in manufacturability, product quality, and design consistency.
• Technical Standards & Compliance
  • Maintain working knowledge of IEC/BSI standards for design, manufacturing, testing, and safety.
  • Ensure all designs and manufactured items comply with internal quality procedures and external certification requirements (ISO, grid codes, client specifications).
  • Support documentation and risk assessments relating to electrical safety, test procedures, and compliance.
• Site Surveys & Client Interface
  • Conduct electrical site surveys to capture measurements, installation constraints, and integration requirements.
  • Prepare clear survey reports to feed into accurate design and manufacturing planning.
  • Support pre‑installation and post‑installation technical queries.
• Testing, Validation & Quality Assurance
  • Lead end‑to‑end testing and validation of products—including insulation testing, functional testing, continuity checks, harmonic filter tuning checks, etc.
  • Develop test rigs, procedures, and commissioning documentation to support consistent product validation.
  • Identify failure modes and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Collaboration, Mentorship & Cross‑Team Work
  • Work closely with manufacturing, engineering, procurement, and project teams to ensure smooth product delivery.
  • Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and technicians, helping them build diagnostic and manufacturing‑readiness skills.
  • Support cross‑functional initiatives to improve quality, reduce build time, and strengthen standardisation.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field; a Master’s or higher is preferred.
• Significant hands‑on experience in electrical…
