Senior Electrical Design Engineer
£100,000 - £140,000 + Competitive Equity
On-site | London
Build something that doesn't exist yet.
Most engineering jobs involve improving someone else's design.
This one doesn't.
We're working with a fast-growing engineering business that's developing technology capable of changing how synthetic fuels are produced at scale. Backed by significant investment and growing rapidly, they're looking for a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to own the industrial AC power architecture behind their next generation of products.
If you're motivated by solving difficult engineering problems, taking ownership and seeing your work become reality, this is the kind of role that doesn't come along very often.
The role
You'll take ownership of the electrical architecture across complex, multi-megawatt industrial systems, working alongside a highly capable multidisciplinary engineering team that's building everything in-house.
This isn't a maintenance role.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
It isn't a consultancy role.
It's an opportunity to influence the design, safety and scalability of technology from the ground up.
You'll be involved in:
- Owning the industrial AC power architecture for multi-megawatt systems.
- Designing power distribution, protection systems, panel layouts and cable sizing.
- Producing electrical schematics and supporting CE/UKCA certification.
- Leading functional safety activities including IEC 61508, HAZOPs and FMEAs.
- Working across power distribution, motors, drives, pumps, instrumentation and industrial control systems.
- Mentoring engineers while remaining hands-on technically.
About you
You'll probably have 5-15 years' experience designing industrial electrical systems and enjoy working where engineering decisions genuinely matter.
We're particularly interested in engineers who've built products or systems in fast-paced, innovative environments rather than spending their career working solely on large consultancy or EPC projects.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience in any of the following would be advantageous:
- Industrial power systems
- Process plants
- Hydrogen
- Battery technology
- Clean energy
- Robotics
- Aerospace
- Industrial automation
- Advanced manufacturing
- High-power electrical systems
Experience with IEC 61508, Functional Safety, ATEX or hazardous area design would also be highly desirable.
What's on offer
- £100,000-£140,000 depending on experience.
- Competitive equity package.
- Genuine ownership of a critical engineering function.
- The chance to work alongside a highly technical, engineering-led team.
- Visa sponsorship and relocation support available for the right candidate.
- On-site role based in London.
If you're looking for another corporate engineering role, this probably isn't it.
If you want to build first-of-its-kind technology, solve genuinely difficult engineering problems and join a business where your work will directly shape the future of the product, we'd love to hear from you.
