Senior Mechanical Designer - MV Switchgear & IEC Systems

POSITION SUMMARY

The Pre-Order MV SWGR Designer Mechanical - IEC is responsible for partnering with the EMEA Sales Team and the IEC SWGR product management team when looking at Medium Voltage Switchgear opportunities from an overall mechanical design point of view. This role will analyze and do the initial mechanical design / estimating, working closely with the EMEA pricing team, to come up with an estimate to support the quote to a customer. This includes partnering with the Vertiv Unify team to understand the controls and relay design for the overall system (considering the location of control equipment). The position will be located in Campsie Northern Ireland or Ras Al-Khaimah United Arab Emirates co-located with the MV SWGR IEC Order Engineering Teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work with the MV SWGR estimating team (pricing) to analyze the customer’s design requirements and support the CDE (Comply, Deviate, Exception) Process.
• Based on what’s observed via the CDE process provide design feedback and trends to the MV SWGR – IEC product management team so that the product portfolio roadmaps can be adjusted accordingly based on market trends.
• Prepare Mechanical General Arrangements and Designs to support the pre-order quotation process (such as panel schedules, footprint and elevations drawings) that would ultimately be the basis of design assuming the order is won.
• Pre-Order Engineering for transformer close coupling as well as integration with other Vertiv solutions working in conjunction with MV SWGR.
• Work with Vertiv’s MV Breaker and MV Relay suppliers to understand performance characteristics that are to be incorporated into the ultimate Vertiv solution.
• Planning for footprint considerations.
• Support Vertiv Procurement on MV Component analysis supporting the most competitive supply chains for Vertiv. Special emphasis on Mechanical Considerations.
• If required support MV SWGR R&D with the writing of FAT plans (factory acceptance test) for the quote process and ultimate execution. Special emphasis placed on seismic, heat rise and short circuit testing.
