Your experience will include producing electrical designs such as schematic diagrams, layouts, and calculations, as well as preparing specifications and project reports, carrying out site inspections and surveys, developing detailed designs, and contributing to project meetings. Through this, you’ll support project teams in delivering excellent, practical, and innovative electrical design solutions.
