Application Design Engineer MV / HV Power Distribution
Location: Leeds
Hybrid
Salary: £45,000+ DOE + Flexitime + Overtime + Retention Bonus + Permanent Benefits
Want to build a career designing the equipment at the heart of the UK's electrical infrastructure?
An opportunity has opened with a global electrical manufacturer specialising in MV/HV switchgear, protection & power distribution equipment, joining an established engineering team in Leeds.
This isn't a role where you'll be expected to arrive knowing every product inside out. We're looking for engineers with a strong electrical foundation who want to develop specialist knowledge within switchgear design & application engineering.
You'll work on the technical development of MV power distribution projects, taking customer requirements & translating them into practical engineered solutions across switchgear, protection & control systems, substations & associated distribution equipment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Role
- Develop technical designs & application solutions for MV/HV power distribution equipment
- Produce & review single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, equipment configurations & technical documentation
- Work with MV switchgear, circuit breakers, protection relays, CT/VT arrangements & control systems
- Interpret customer specifications & translate requirements into engineered solutions
- Support tendering & commercial teams with technical input during bid stages
- Provide engineering support throughout project delivery, manufacturing & testing
- Work closely with customers, project engineers, manufacturing & wider engineering teams
- Ensure designs meet relevant technical standards, specifications & project requirements
- Develop specialist product knowledge with structured support from experienced engineers
Who We're Looking For
We're open to engineers coming from several different routes, including:
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Electrical Design / Application Engineering
- Switchgear or switchboard design
- MV/HV engineering
- Protection & Control
- Electrical Project Engineering
- Commissioning / Testing
- Tendering / Proposals Engineering
Electrical engineering graduates with relevant power systems knowledge.
Previous switchgear experience would be highly beneficial, but isn't essential for every applicant.
For a graduate or early-career Electrical Engineer, this is an opportunity to move into a specialist design environment & develop hands-on knowledge of MV switchgear, protection, control & power distribution systems with the backing of a major global manufacturer.
For an experienced engineer, it offers the opportunity to move away from predominantly site-based work & apply your technical knowledge within a more design, product & project-focused position.
Sponsorship not available.
