Job description

Application Design Engineer – MV / HV Power Distribution

Location: Leeds – Hybrid

Salary: £45,000+ DOE + Flexitime + Overtime + Retention Bonus + Permanent Benefits

Want to build a career designing the equipment at the heart of the UK's electrical infrastructure?

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.

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.

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

• Develop technical designs & application solutions for MV/HV power distribution equipment
• Produce & review single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, equipment configurations & technical documentation
• Work with MV switchgear, circuit breakers, protection relays, CT/VT arrangements & control systems
• Interpret customer specifications & translate requirements into engineered solutions
• Support tendering & commercial teams with technical input during bid stages
• Provide engineering support throughout project delivery, manufacturing & testing
• Work closely with customers, project engineers, manufacturing & wider engineering teams
• Ensure designs meet relevant technical standards, specifications & project requirements
• Develop specialist product knowledge with structured support from experienced engineers

Who We're Looking For

• Electrical Design / Application Engineering
• Switchgear or switchboard design
• MV/HV engineering
• Protection & Control
• Electrical Project Engineering
• Commissioning / Testing
• Tendering / Proposals Engineering
• Electrical engineering graduates with relevant power systems knowledge
• Previous switchgear experience would be highly beneficial, but isn't essential for every applicant.

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.

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.
