Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Elevation Recruitment Group are working with a leading engineering manufacturer to recruit a Senior Electrical Design Engineer. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business delivering bespoke electrical solutions for data centres, power generation and critical infrastructure projects.

You'll lead electrical design activities from concept through to manufacture and commissioning, working on complex, customer-driven projects while mentoring junior engineers and helping shape engineering standards.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the electrical design of bespoke LV power and control systems.
  • Produce electrical schematics, SLDs, wiring diagrams, cable schedules and I/O schedules using SolidWorks Electrical.
  • Ensure designs comply with BS7671 and relevant IEC standards.
  • Collaborate with mechanical design, projects and manufacturing teams to deliver practical, manufacturable solutions.
  • Support testing, commissioning, technical problem solving and continuous improvement initiatives.

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.
