An established engineering and manufacturing business is currently seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Designer to join its engineering team. This is a senior-level role with a strong balance between hands-on electrical design, technical leadership, and continuous improvement.

The successful candidate will play a key role in the design, development, and delivery of electrical systems for complex, industry-leading products, while also contributing to team development, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration.



Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and implement electrical systems and control architectures in line with EN(phone number removed), EN13849, UL, and CSA standards, including CE marking.

  • Produce high-quality electrical schematics, drawings, and layouts using industry-standard CAD tools (Solid Edge and/or AutoCAD preferred).

  • Work closely with mechanical, software, and firmware engineers to ensure fully integrated system designs.

  • Support engineering management and Lead Engineers with task planning, workload allocation, and delivery against project deadlines.

  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers within the team, including onboarding and ongoing development support.

  • Ensure engineering outputs are produced in a consistent, compliant format, aligned with company quality systems and regulatory requirements.

  • Act as a technical point of contact for other departments, responding to design queries and information requests.

  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and optimise resource utilisation.

  • Chair engineering-related meetings and attend cross-functional reviews to communicate progress, risks, and priorities.

  • Promote a collaborative "one-team" culture, supporting other departments where required to ensure consistent engineering delivery.



Education & Qualifications

  • Degree-qualified in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.

  • Chartered Engineer (CEng) status desirable but not essential.



Skills & Experience

  • Strong background in the design of precision electrical and electro-mechanical systems.

  • Broad understanding of manufacturing methods, materials, and production environments.

  • Proven experience working to international standards and regulatory compliance.

  • High level of technical competence in electrical design and CAD software.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a structured environment.

  • Excellent communication and organisational skills, with confidence working across disciplines.

  • Sound engineering judgement, decision-making capability, and problem-solving approach.

  • Ability to identify and implement process and system improvements to reduce waste and improve efficiency.

  • Strong understanding of engineering drawing and design best practice.



Why This Role?

This opportunity suits a Senior Electrical Designer who enjoys technical ownership, values team leadership, and wants to influence how engineering is delivered within a growing, forward-thinking organisation.
