SalaryOverview
The role is based in a busy department of Electrical, Mechanical and Software Designers. The department design vacuum metallizing solutions for the packaging industry, from concept to detail and this position would be involved in all aspects of design from an electrical perspective.
The machines we manufacture are large with complex control systems, with a typical machine needing a control panel measuring 13m wide x 2.2m tall and require a schematic drawing package of 750 drawings (A4).
The position is office based within a team of 3 other electrical engineers, 13 mechanical engineers and 4 software engineers.
Main Responsibilities
Management:
- Project management of all aspects of machine Electrical Design
- Liaison with customers (internal and external) and suppliers
Design Work:
- Ability to design and draw electrical control circuits (to relevant British & European regulations) on an electrical CAD package.
- To select components and cables taking into account all circuit and environmental conditions
- Adherence to internal and regulatory electrical drawing system and standards.
- Development of electrical drawings from new sheet through to red line updates of electrical drawing.
Functional and personal skills:
- 5-10 years’ experience in an engineering / design office
- HNC / HND or BEng. Electrical Engineering
