Senior Electrical Design Engineer Controls & Automation

Daventry, Northamptonshire | £55,000£65,000

A well-established UK engineering and manufacturing business is looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Design Engineer as part of an exciting stage in the development of its engineering function.

Initially this will be a highly hands-on electrical design position to ensure consistency and accuracy to support the manufacturing process. You will take a lead role in the design of electrical control systems, working closely with the company's manufacturing operation and top leadership.

The longer-term opportunity is considerably broader. As you establish yourself within the business, the intention is for you to take increasing ownership of the engineering function to free the founder to focus on strategy and R&D. You will forge the engineering standards, processes and people including recruiting your team around you.

For an accomplished electrical design engineer / senior electrical design engineer who would like to progress into engineering leadership without giving up the technical work immediately, this offers a fantastic opportunity to do so, working in a family owned business directly with the CEO and founder.

The role

Initially, the majority of your time will be spent on electrical design, including:

• Electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and control panel layouts
• Design and specification of electrical control systems
• Producing and maintaining BOMs, drawings and associated technical documentation
• Reviewing designs and ensuring appropriate engineering standards are maintained
• Working closely with Manufacturing to ensure designs are practical, accurate and efficient to build
• Liaising with R&D, Purchasing and other functions throughout the design and manufacturing process
• Identifying opportunities to improve engineering methods, standards and documentation

As the role develops, you will take greater responsibility for the engineering function itself, including supporting and mentoring other engineers, building out your team and establishing effective engineering processes and standards. xwwtmva
