Junior Electrical Engineer

The Junior Electrical Engineer will support the design, development, testing, and lifecycle engineering of electrical rotating machinery, including stators, rotors, and complete machine systems.

Working under the guidance of experienced engineers, the role provides exposure across new build, upgrade, and retrofit projects, as well as manufacturing, diagnostics, and service support activities.

The position is designed to develop strong technical capability while contributing to engineering delivery across a range of complex, high-value machinery projects.

Due to the nature of the work, applicants must be eligible for UK security clearance and therefore MUST hold a full British passport.

Key Responsibilities & Accountability

Electrical Design & Development

• Assist in the electrical design of rotating machinery components, including stator and rotor systems, under the supervision of senior engineers.
• Support the development of machine upgrades, retrofits, and modifications.
• Contribute to the preparation and updating of electrical design documentation and drawings.
• Assist in the design and development of non-standard coils and related electrical components.
• Produce and modify CAD models and engineering drawings to support design activities.
• Assist in maintaining accurate engineering records, build documentation, and design files.
• Support the preparation of manufacturing and technical documentation.

Testing & Validation Support

• Assist in the development of test methodologies and procedures for dynamic testing of large electrical machines.
• Support on-site and workshop-based testing activities.
• Help collect, organise, and analyse test data.
• Contribute to the preparation of test reports and technical documentation.

Diagnostics & Failure Investigation

• Support diagnostic assessments of machinery condition, including data collection and analysis.
• Assist in root cause analysis activities for failed equipment.
• Contribute to the preparation of life assessment reports and technical findings.
• Participate in engineering investigations under guidance from senior engineers.

Manufacturing & Service Support

• Assist manufacturing teams with engineering queries and technical support.
• Support service and maintenance activities, including site-based work where appropriate.
• Help resolve technical issues under supervision.
• Gain exposure to manufacturing processes and machine build activities.

Quality & Compliance Support

• Assist with quality control activities and technical compliance checks against specifications and contractual requirements.
• Support the preparation of manufacturing documentation such as process descriptions and build records.
• Ensure engineering outputs follow internal standards and procedures.

Project & Commercial Support

• Provide technical support to tendering and project teams.
• Assist with preparation of engineering inputs for bids and proposals.
• Support project engineers during all phases of project delivery.
• Gain exposure to customer-facing technical discussions under supervision.

Analysis & Engineering Development

• Develop skills in engineering analysis, including stress analysis and finite element analysis (FEA).
• Support senior engineers in modelling, simulation, and interpretation of results.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering tools and processes.

Training & Development

• Structured development plan with exposure to design, manufacturing, testing, and field engineering activities.
• Mentoring and guidance from experienced electrical and mechanical engineers.
• Opportunity to develop competency in rotating machinery design, diagnostics, and lifecycle engineering.
• Support towards professional registration (e.g. IEng/CEng pathway where applicable).

Qualifications, Experience & Personal Attributes

The successful applicant will possess:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline (or equivalent).
• Strong interest in electrical machines, power systems, or rotating equipment.
• Basic understanding of electrical design principles and engineering fundamentals.
• Familiarity with CAD tools (desirable but not essential).
• Analytical mindset with attention to detail.
• Strong communication and willingness to learn in a multidisciplinary environment.
