A growing engineering business is expanding its in-house controls capability following the successful delivery of two major infrastructure projects. Having entered the full-machine build space for the first time, the company has already successfully delivered two major multi-million-pound projects. With strong project momentum and a clear pipeline ahead, the next phase is to bring electrical design fully in-house - and this role will support that journey as part of a developing team.
The Role:
- Supporting electrical design for control systems (assisting with full drawing packages for manufacture)
- Working on large-scale infrastructure and automation projects
- Assisting with site surveys for refurbishment projects (with support)
- Collaborating with panel builders, senior engineers, and electrical contractors
- Opportunity to gain exposure to commissioning activities (optional and supported)
This is a development-focused role where you will be mentored by experienced engineers and gradually take on more responsibility as your skills grow.
The Person:
- Degree or HND/HNC in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
- 0–2 years’ experience (including placements or internships)
- Some exposure to electrical design software (e.g. AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN – training provided)
- Interest in control systems / automation
- Willingness to learn, adaptable, and proactive
- Strong communication skills and a team-oriented approach
- PLC knowledge or programming exposure would be beneficial but is not essential.
This is a supportive, down-to-earth engineering team with a genuinely positive working culture, offering structured development and the chance to grow within a department being built from the ground up.
Hybrid working (typically 3 days in office, flexible depending on workload)
40-hour week with flexitime
