Our client is a profitable, well-established SME with big ambitions and a down-to-earth, supportive culture. Our business is growing—steadily and sustainably—with new products in the pipeline and a team that actually enjoys Mondays.

We’re now looking for a sharp, organised, and forward-thinking Electrical Engineer to help shape the future of our clients electrical design and manufacturing capabilities.

You'll be the go-to person for all things electrical—leading improvements, refining designs, and driving the development of our next generation of products. Key bits include:

• Own the Process: Specify components, design for global markets, and take ownership from concept through to the shop floor.
• Collaborate & Innovate: Work alongside a friendly and clever team in R&D, manufacturing and production—your ideas won’t just be heard, they’ll be built.
• Evolve & Improve: Play a pivotal role in enhancing reliability, safety and performance across our growing product range.

What You Bring

• A Degree, HND or Level 5 qualification in electrical engineering, mechatronics or similar.
• Around 3+ years of hands-on experience in machinery or equipment-based electrical engineering roles.
• Fluent in electrical schematics (AutoCAD Electrical or similar) and knows their way around a control panel.
• Experience in wiring, testing and assembly.
• Good communicator with a methodical, problem-solving brain and a sense of ownership.

Bonus Points If You Also Have

• Familiarity with PLCs, control systems or configurable product design.
• A background in small-batch or configurable manufacturing.

Why Join our client

• Stability meets ambition: They have been doing this a long time, and just getting started.
