Competitive, Depending on Experience

Monday to Friday

Permanent

Rise10 Recruitment are working with a well-established engineering business operating within the automation and intralogistics sector, supporting the design and delivery of complex automated systems for customers across the UK and beyond.

We are currently recruiting across three levels of Electrical Design, so whether you are an experienced Electrical Design Engineer, a Senior Engineer ready to take on greater responsibility, or an Electrical Design Manager looking for your next leadership opportunity, we would be interested in hearing from you.

One thing that is essential across all three roles: EPLAN experience.

If you have strong hands-on experience producing electrical designs using EPLAN, alongside a background in automation, machinery, capital equipment or engineered systems, we'd like to hear from you.

Electrical Design Engineer:

Working as part of the Electrical Design and wider Engineering teams, you will produce detailed electrical designs for automated systems, including circuit diagrams, component layouts, Bills of Materials and supporting calculations and documentation.

You'll work closely with Project Engineering, Controls, Procurement, Installation and Project Management to ensure designs are delivered accurately, on time and to the required standards.

Senior Electrical Design Engineer:

At Senior level, you'll take greater ownership of electrical design solutions and technical issues across projects, working closely with engineering and project teams from design through to installation and implementation.

You'll be involved in developing design concepts, producing detailed electrical drawings and documentation, resolving technical issues and supporting site activities where required.

Electrical Design Manager:

At Manager level, you'll lead the Electrical Design function, providing technical direction while managing the team's output, utilisation and development.

You'll be responsible for ensuring electrical solutions are delivered to specification, within budget and on time, while supporting pre-sales costing, design standards, technical development and the ongoing development of the Electrical Design team.

What we're looking for

The level of experience required will depend on which position is right for you, but across the opportunities we're looking for people with:

• Essential: strong practical experience using EPLAN for electrical design
• Electrical design experience within automation, machinery, capital equipment or engineered systems
• Experience producing electrical schematics, circuit diagrams, component layouts and Bills of Materials
• Good understanding of electrical calculations, specifications and technical documentation
• Experience working to relevant electrical and machinery safety standards
• Good understanding of automation equipment and integrated engineering systems
• Strong attention to detail and a practical approach to problem solving
• The ability to work collaboratively with engineering, project, procurement and installation teams
• A willingness to attend project, customer or supplier sites when required

For Senior and Manager level positions, we're also interested in experience taking technical ownership of projects, resolving complex design issues and supporting or developing other engineers.

For the Electrical Design Manager position specifically, experience leading a technical design team, electrical costing/estimating and working with design standards and machinery safety requirements would be particularly relevant.

Qualifications

A formal qualification in Electrical Engineering is preferred, with HNC/HND or equivalent qualifications considered alongside relevant electrical design experience.

Knowledge of 18th Edition, EN 60204, EN ISO 13849 and other relevant electrical and machinery safety standards would be advantageous.

Why apply?

These are excellent opportunities to join a specialist engineering environment where you can work on complex automation projects, develop your technical expertise and have a genuine impact on the delivery of engineered solutions.

With three levels available, we're happy to discuss where your experience and career aspirations would best fit.

If you're an Electrical Design Engineer, Senior Electrical Design Engineer or Electrical Design Manager with strong EPLAN experience, we'd love to hear from you.
