About the Role
Chronos Energy are working with a UK based cleantech business who design solar, heat and power technology systems for large commercial and industrial clients. We are looking to recruit a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to work on projects in the UK and overseas. The role can be mainly remote but ideally the chosen candidate can get to the office in the South East once a week or bi-weekly.
The successful candidate will work within a small team and be responsible for the design of projects from conception to completion, drawing in external engineers from mechanical, structural and other disciplines as required. They will prepare costed designs of renewable heat and power systems, including SLDs & wiring schematics for control systems, key component sizing and selection, electrical load schedules, specifications, CAD design. They will pay close attention to the health and safety aspects of the design and will be able to support more junior members of the team.
The senior EC&I design engineer will also produce reports, participate in client meetings, and engage construction partners to develop projects for costing and estimating.
