An established engineering and manufacturing business is currently seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Designer to join its engineering team. This is a senior-level role with a strong balance between hands‑on electrical design, technical leadership, and continuous improvement.
The successful candidate will play a key role in the design, development, and delivery of electrical systems for complex, industry‑leading products, while also contributing to team development, process improvement, and cross‑functional collaboration.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and implement electrical systems and control architectures in line with EN(phone number removed), EN13849, UL, and CSA standards, including CE marking.
- Produce high‑quality electrical schematics, drawings, and layouts using industry‑standard CAD tools (Solid Edge and/or AutoCAD preferred).
- Work closely with mechanical, software, and firmware engineers to ensure fully integrated system designs.
- Support engineering management and Lead Engineers with task planning, workload allocation, and delivery against project deadlines.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers within the team, including onboarding and ongoing development support.
- Ensure engineering outputs are produced in a consistent, compliant format, aligned with company quality systems and regulatory requirements.
- Act as a technical point of contact for other departments, responding to design queries and information requests.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and optimise resource utilisation.
- Chair engineering‑related meetings and attend cross‑functional reviews to communicate progress, risks, and priorities.
- Promote a collaborative "one‑team" culture, supporting other departments where required to ensure consistent engineering delivery.
Education & Qualifications
- Degree‑qualified in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Chartered Engineer (CEng) status desirable but not essential.
Skills & Experience
- Strong background in the design of precision electrical and electro‑mechanical systems.
- Broad understanding of manufacturing methods, materials, and production environments.
- Proven experience working to international standards and regulatory compliance.
- High level of technical competence in electrical design and CAD software.
- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a structured environment.
- Excellent communication and organisational skills, with confidence working across disciplines.
- Sound engineering judgement, decision‑making capability, and problem‑solving approach.
- Ability to identify and implement process and system improvements to reduce waste and improve efficiency.
- Strong understanding of engineering drawing and design best practice.
Why This Role?
This opportunity suits a Senior Electrical Designer who enjoys technical ownership, values team leadership, and wants to influence how engineering is delivered within a growing, forward‑thinking organisation.
