Electrical Design Engineer
Location: West Yorkshire
Salary: Up to £55,000 + Benefits
Job Type: Permanent
The Company
Our client is a well-established engineering manufacturer specialising in the design and manufacture of bespoke acoustic enclosures, canopies, and noise control solutions for power generation and industrial applications. Their equipment supports projects across the UK and internationally within the power generation, industrial manufacturing, oil & gas, marine, and energy sectors, working alongside leading OEMs, EPC contractors, and end users.
Due to continued growth, they're looking to recruit an Electrical Design Engineer to join their engineering team and take ownership of the electrical design of bespoke control systems and electrical packages from concept through to manufacture and commissioning.
The Role
As an Electrical Design Engineer, you'll be responsible for producing high-quality electrical designs for bespoke industrial equipment, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with customer specifications and industry standards.
Working closely with Mechanical Design, Production, and Project Engineering teams, you'll be involved throughout the full project lifecycle, supporting projects from initial design through to factory acceptance testing and customer support.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys technically varied project work rather than repetitive product design.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce detailed electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and single-line diagrams using AutoCAD Electrical and EPLAN.
- Design electrical control panels, LV distribution systems, and associated electrical packages.
- Create panel layouts, cable schedules, termination drawings, and bills of materials.
- Size and specify cables, protection devices, contactors, relays, terminals, and other electrical components.
- Design containment systems including cable tray, conduit, and trunking layouts.
- Carry out electrical calculations using software such as Amtech and produce lighting calculations where required.
- Support the integration of auxiliary electrical systems including lighting, heating, battery chargers, instrumentation, and ventilation controls.
- Review customer specifications and ensure designs comply with project requirements and relevant electrical standards.
- Work alongside Mechanical Design Engineers to coordinate equipment layouts and ensure designs are practical for manufacture.
- Provide technical support during panel build, factory acceptance testing (FAT), commissioning, and installation.
- Liaise with customers, suppliers, and internal departments to resolve technical queries and implement design improvements.
- Maintain accurate engineering documentation, revision control, and technical records throughout the project lifecycle.
