Want to build a career designing the equipment at the heart of the UK's electrical infrastructure?

An opportunity has opened with a global electrical manufacturer specialising in MV/HV switchgear, protection & power distribution equipment, joining an established engineering team in Huddersfield.

 

This isn't a role where you'll be expected to arrive knowing every product inside out. We're looking for engineers with a strong electrical foundation who want to develop specialist knowledge within switchgear design & application engineering.

 

You'll work on the technical development of MV power distribution projects, taking customer requirements & translating them into practical engineered solutions across switchgear, protection & control systems, substations & associated distribution equipment.

 

The Role

  • Develop technical designs & application solutions for MV/HV power distribution equipment
  • Produce & review single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, equipment configurations & technical documentation
  • Work with MV switchgear, circuit breakers, protection relays, CT/VT arrangements & control systems
  • Interpret customer specifications & translate requirements into engineered solutions
  • Support tendering & commercial teams with technical input during bid stages
  • Provide engineering support throughout project delivery, manufacturing & testing
  • Work closely with customers, project engineers, manufacturing & wider engineering teams
  • Ensure designs meet relevant technical standards, specifications & project requirements
  • Develop specialist product knowledge with structured support from experienced engineers

 

Who We're Looking For

  • Switchgear or switchboard design
  • MV/HV engineering
  • Protection & Control
  • Electrical Project Engineering
  • Commissioning / Testing
  • Tendering / Proposals Engineering
  • Electrical engineering graduates with relevant power systems knowledge

 

This is an opportunity to move into a specialist design environment & develop hands-on knowledge of MV switchgear, protection, control & power distribution systems with the backing of a major electrical engineering firm.
