Job Description

Electrical Design Engineer

Normanton, West Yorkshire
  £35,000 – £45,000 (depending on experience)
  7:30am–4:00pm (30-minute lunch) – flexible start options available (8:00am or 8:30am)

The Opportunity

We are looking for an Electrical Design Engineer to join our growing engineering team in Normanton. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on electrical design work, developing schematics and supporting control panel solutions — particularly within building controls environments rather than machinery automation.

This is not a pure CAD role. Instead, you’ll focus on design development, schematic creation, and engineering problem solving, with detailed CAD drafting handled separately by specialist colleagues.

We’re open to candidates who are not the finished article but are keen to develop their technical capability and progress their engineering career within a supportive environment. 

Key Responsibilities

You will work closely with senior engineers, customers, and manufacturing teams to:

Produce and modify electrical schematics and control panel designs
Interpret customer requirements and translate them into practical engineering solutions
Hand mark-up and develop existing designs for manufacture
Support projects from concept through to delivery and post-installation stages
Contribute to peer review processes to maintain design quality standards
Assist with control system improvements and panel upgrade activities
Support continuous improvement initiatives across engineering and production

About the Role

This position suits someone who:

Enjoys electrical design rather than CAD drafting
Is confident developing or modifying schematics
Has experience working with control panels or building management systems (BMS)
Wants progression into a broader engineering design role
Values working closely with both manufacturing and customers
Engineers currently working in test engineering, panel build support, or electrical CAD roles who want more involvement in design are encouraged to apply.

Skills & Experience

Essential:

Electrical design capability (schematics and panel layouts)
Experience working with control panels or building controls environments
Ability to interpret technical requirements and translate into workable solutions
HNC (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering (or relevant experience)
Minimum ~3 years’ engineering experience (flexible for the right candidate)
Strong problem-solving mindset and attention to detail
Desirable (but not essential):

Experience with Building Management Systems (BMS)
Knowledge of Form 4 panel design
Exposure to PLC programming
Experience supporting panel upgrades or commissioning activity
CAD experience is not essential.

What We Offer

Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 depending on experience
Flexible start time options
29 days holiday (including public holidays)
Company pension scheme
Medicash scheme
Structured support and mentoring
Clear progression opportunities within engineering 
This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer looking to move into a design-focused role with real development potential, rather than spending their time producing CAD drawings.
