Electrical Design Engineer LVAC / Power Systems

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
