Electrical Design Engineer - LVAC / Power Systems
New Yesterday
Permanent | Office-Based | Engineering Environment
We’re recruiting an Electrical Design Engineer to strengthen an established engineering team working on low-voltage AC (LVAC) systems and power distribution equipment used within regulated, infrastructure-led applications.
This role is ideal for an engineer with a strong electrical background who enjoys working close to manufacture, understands standards and compliance, and wants to be involved across the full product lifecycle rather than purely desk-based design.
The Role
You’ll play a key role in the design and development of LVAC electrical systems, supporting both new product development and existing production activity.
Key responsibilities include:
Electrical design of LVAC systems, switchgear, or power distribution equipment
Producing and maintaining electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
Supporting new product introduction (NPI) from concept through to production
Ensuring designs comply with IEC / BS EN standards and internal quality procedures
Supporting manufacturing, assembly, testing, and commissioning activities
Assisting with fault investigation, root cause analysis, and design improvements
Liaising with mechanical engineers, suppliers, and other internal stakeholders
Occasional site visits for meetings, investigations, or support activities
What We’re Looking For
Background as an Electrical Design Engineer or electrically biased Electro-Mechanical Engineer
Proven experience working with LVAC / low-voltage electrical systems
Exposure to switchgear, control panels, or power distribution equipment
Experience producing electrical schematics and wiring documentation
Understanding of engineering standards and compliance (IEC / BS EN)
Comfortable supporting designs through manufacture and production
Qualifications
HNC / HND or Degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
Desirable (Not Essential)
Rail or infrastructure project exposure
Experience in regulated or safety-critical industries
Knowledge of testing, commissioning, or fault-finding
Experience working in mixed electrical / mechanical engineering teams
Why Apply?
Join a technically focused team with strong engineering depth
Work on real-world LVAC systems, not consultancy-only design
Long-term, stable permanent role
Opportunity to influence designs from concept to manufacture
