\n

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

\n

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.

\n

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\n
    \n
  • \n

    Develop technical designs & application solutions for MV/HV power distribution equipment

    • \n
  • \n

    Produce & review single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, equipment configurations & technical documentation

    • \n
  • \n

    Work with MV switchgear, circuit breakers, protection relays, CT/VT arrangements & control systems

    • \n
  • \n

    Interpret customer specifications & translate requirements into engineered solutions

    • \n
  • \n

    Support tendering & commercial teams with technical input during bid stages

    • \n
  • \n

    Provide engineering support throughout project delivery, manufacturing & testing

    • \n
  • \n

    Work closely with customers, project engineers, manufacturing & wider engineering teams

    • \n
  • \n

    Ensure designs meet relevant technical standards, specifications & project requirements

    Electrical engineering graduates with relevant power systems knowledge

    • \n
\n

Previous switchgear experience would be highly beneficial, but isn't essential for every applicant.

\n

For a graduate or early-career Electrical Engineer, 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 global manufacturer.

\n

For an experienced engineer, it offers the opportunity to move away from predominantly site-based work & apply your technical knowledge within a more design, product & project-focused position.

\n

Sponsorship not available.
