Are you an Electrical Design Engineer who enjoys building bespoke automation machinery from the ground up — and wants the opportunity to genuinely influence how a design department evolves?
This is a chance to join a highly respected UK engineering business delivering complex, one-off automation systems to global manufacturers. Every project is different, giving you the opportunity to work on technically challenging machinery from concept through to commissioning.
Alongside designing innovative special-purpose equipment, you’ll have the opportunity to help modernise and shape the company’s electrical design capability. The business is looking to introduce a more structured 3D electrical CAD environment, and this role will play a key part in driving that forward.
This isn’t a leadership role with direct reports — it’s an influential technical position where your ideas, experience and approach will genuinely shape the future of the department.
