Electrical Designer (AutoCAD Electrical) – Inside IR35 Contract

Fusion Technology Sector

Are you an experienced Electrical Designer with strong AutoCAD Electrical expertise? We're looking for a contractor to join a highly skilled engineering team delivering innovative projects within the fusion technology sector.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on cutting-edge electrical systems supporting advanced scientific equipment and industrial installations. You'll play a key role in producing high-quality electrical designs and technical documentation, working on projects ranging from electrical control panels and assemblies through to complex machinery and power distribution systems.

This is an Inside IR35 contract position, ideal for an experienced Electrical Designer who can quickly integrate into an established engineering team and make an immediate impact.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce electrical schematics and design documentation using AutoCAD Electrical.
  • Create complete technical documentation packages, including Bills of Materials, load schedules, cable schedules, terminal schedules, OEM manuals and supporting datasheets.
  • Develop and maintain electrical drawings to company standards and international regulations.
  • Produce a range of design documentation including:
    • Single-line diagrams
    • Wiring diagrams
    • Control panel layouts
    • Building layouts showing cable management and power distribution arrangements
  • Modify existing electrical designs in accordance with controlled change management processes.
  • Reverse engineer existing electrical systems to produce accurate drawing packages.
  • Support the documentation of both existing installations and new engineering projects.
  • Assist with the integration of OEM equipment using manuals, I/O schedules and technical specifications.
  • Produce supporting documentation including device lists, electrical load schedules and distribution board schedules.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure project requirements are delivered successfully.
  • Participate in technical design reviews and support the specification of electrical and control system components.
  • Provide hands-on support during equipment assembly, testing, commissioning and fault-finding activities when required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
