Are you an Electrical Design Engineer with experience designing control systems, panels or electrical systems within an industrial engineering environment?
We are working with a well-established engineering business specialising in the design and manufacture of bespoke automation and robotic solutions. The company delivers technically complex equipment across a range of industries including automotive, medical, plastics and packaging.
You do not need previous special purpose machinery experience to be considered. Candidates from adjacent electrical design environments such as industrial automation, machinery, manufacturing equipment, packaging, material handling, process equipment or systems integration would all be of interest.
The Role
Responsibilities will include:
Producing detailed electrical schematics and circuit diagrams using EPLAN
Designing control panels and electrical control systems
Creating bills of materials and selecting appropriate electrical components
Designing electrical and safety systems in line with relevant standards
Supporting the build and wiring of control panels and equipment
Working closely with electrical technicians during build and testing
Fault-finding and troubleshooting electrical and safety systems
Supporting installation and commissioning when required
Making modifications and improvements to existing electrical systems
Working alongside mechanical, electrical and controls engineers to deliver complete projects
Supporting customers both remotely and on-site when requiredAbout You
We are looking for someone with a strong electrical design background who is comfortable working with industrial control systems.
You will ideally have:
Experience working as an Electrical Design Engineer, Controls Engineer, Electrical Systems Engineer or similar
Strong experience using EPLAN
Experience producing electrical schematics, circuit diagrams and control-panel designs
Experience designing electrical control systems within an industrial, manufacturing, machinery or automation environment
A good understanding of electrical components and control-panel hardware
Knowledge of electrical safety systems and relevant engineering standards
Experience producing bills of materials and selecting electrical components
The ability to fault-find electrical and control systemsExperience within special purpose machinery or industrial automation would be highly desirable but is not essential.
Experience with any of the following would also be beneficial:
Packaging or manufacturing machinery
Material handling or conveyor systems
Process equipment
Systems integration
Robotic systems
Siemens, Omron, Rockwell / Allen-Bradley or B&R PLCs
PLC programming
Machine safety or risk assessments
SISTEMA
SCARA, Delta or 6-axis robots
Installation and commissioningThe Opportunity
This is an opportunity to join an established engineering business working on a wide variety of bespoke engineering projects.
Rather than designing the same product repeatedly, you will work across different systems, technologies and customer requirements, giving you exposure to a broad range of electrical and controls engineering challenges.
The business is continuing to grow following sustained demand for its automation solutions
