Electrical Designer
Do you look at a design and think... I wouldn't have done it like that?
Not because you're being difficult...Just because you can see a better way.
As Electrical Design Engineer, you know what usually happens.
You get given something that's already half done. You tweak it. Adjust it. Make it work.
Here, you are involved right from the off...As Electrical Design Engineer, you are the one speaking with the customer, understanding what they actually need then designing something that works in the real world. And you see it through. Design, build, testing... you're still involved at the end, not just the beginning.
That's probably very different to what you are used to.
As Electrical Design Engineer, you are designing control panels for fans & ventilation systems. Nothing too complicated, but it has to be right. You are using SEE Electrical, putting together schematics, BOMs, estimates, and speaking to customers when things need sense checking.
It's not just somewhere you will be sat behind a screen, you are part of a small team in Salisbury. Production, operations, sales... all close together. People talk. Problems get sorted quickly. You don't have to fight to be heard here.
As Electrical Design Engineer, you're in the middle of it. Not waiting for someone to pass something over. You already know your electrical design.
As Electrical Design Engineer, you're comfortable with control panels. You can put a schematic together without needing someone over your shoulder. You can come in and get going.
There is a bit of crossover...Around 15 to 20 percent mechanical. Small SolidWorks adjustments, a bit of metalwork awareness. If you've done it, great. If not, and you're open, you'll pick it up.
It's your electrical grounding as a Electrical Design Engineer that matters.
You don't need your 18th Edition...If you want it later, you'll be supported.
What you'll probably enjoy is the pace. These aren't projects that drag on. They're smaller builds. You design something and not long after, it's being built and tested. You can see it working.
You're someone who takes ownership. You're comfortable speaking to customers. You care about getting it right, but you're practical. And you're easy to work with.
In return, you're looking at around £43000-450000, depending on your experience as a Electrical Design Engineer.
The process is straightforward. A chat, then a meeting with the MD. No tests. No overcomplicating it.
They're not rushing this. They want the right Electrical Design Engineer. So if you're reading this thinking you're not quite ticking every box, but you know you can do the job, you'll still be considered.
So... as a Electrical Design Engineer, does this feel like somewhere you'd actually enjoy doing your job?
