- An understanding of machinery safety, risk assessments and CE compliance would be useful
- A steady, dependable approach and the ability to work accurately within a small electrical design team
- A genuine interest in developing a long-term career within electrical design rather than moving into PLC software or controls engineering
There is a realistic route towards Senior Electrical Design Engineer level over the next two to three years.
