Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a market‑leading group operating across the Commercial, Industrial, Residential and Service sectors, who are now looking for an Electrical Design Engineer to support the delivery of innovative engineering solutions across their expanding product portfolio.

This Gloucestershire based, dynamic organisation has become the market leader in each of the sectors it serves and is embarking on an ambitious growth plan over the next 3 years. With continued investment in products, infrastructure and most importantly, its people, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward‑thinking engineering function that prides itself on being entrepreneurial, customer‑focused, competitive and operationally best‑in‑class.

As an Electrical Design Engineer here, you will take responsibility for electrical design activities across the product lifecycle, from early‑stage concepts all the way through to production release. This will include control panel design, PLC integration and ensuring that all electrical systems meet stringent safety, quality and compliance requirements. This is a crucial role in delivering robust and manufacturable engineering solutions working as part of a multi‑disciplinary team.

Key responsibilities for the role of Electrical Design Engineer based in Gloucestershire:

• Leading the electrical design of packaged pumping systems, including control panel layouts, schematic diagrams and cable schedules.
• Researching and developing new product concepts while enhancing existing designs in response to customer, production and market feedback.
• Specifying and selecting electrical components to meet performance, safety and compliance requirements.
• Development and integration of PLC‑based control systems including configuration, I/O definition and functional documentation (PLC programming experience would be useful but is not essential).
• Producing and maintaining detailed electrical documentation including wiring diagrams, design calculations and BOMs.
• Ensuring that all electrical designs comply with CE/UKCA requirements, Health & Safety regulations and relevant UK/EU directives (LVD, EMC, Machinery Directive).
• Supporting EMC compliance through best‑practice design and collaboration with external test facilities.
• Collaborating with Mechanical Design, Compliance and Manufacturing teams to ensure design integrity and manufacturability.
• Providing input into design reviews, risk assessments and verification/validation testing throughout the development lifecycle.

Key skills required for Gloucestershire based role of Electrical Design Engineer:

• Degree or equivalent in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.
• Proven experience in product design or development, (specific experience involving water management / fluid‑handling equipment would be ideal but is not a pre‑requisite).
• Experience of working within R&D or New Product Development environments.
• Proven experience of designing industrial/commercial control panels (a working knowledge of PLC‑based control systems and Variable Speed Drives would be an advantage but is not a pre‑requisite).
• Solid experience in using CAD/schematic design software, experience of SolidWorks Electrical would be ideal but experience of EPLAN, or AutoCAD Electrical will also be considered.
• Familiarity with key standards and directives, including:
• Low Voltage Directive (LVD)
• EMC Directive
• Machinery Directive
• BS EN (phone number removed) (Electrical Equipment of Machines)
• EN 60335

Working environment and opportunities:

• Hybrid working arrangements with time split between the Gloucestershire based office, home and site.
• Opportunity to join a highly skilled, ambitious engineering team within a rapidly expanding market leader.
• Involvement in the full product lifecycle, contributing to innovative and technically challenging projects.
• A culture that encourages development, continuous improvement and professional growth.

This is a great opportunity to join a forward‑thinking engineering group with ambitious growth plans, a collaborative culture and a commitment to building the best place to work while helping shape the future of high‑performance, compliant engineering solutions.
