Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain electrical schematics in EPLAN Electric P8 for electrical panels, control boards, switchboards, and cabinets.

• Prepare cable lists, termination lists, wiring diagrams, component lists, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and complete electrical drawing packages.

• Develop documentation for power distribution, control circuits, instrumentation, PLC/I/O interfaces, and industrial automation systems.

• Interpret customer specifications, single-line diagrams, engineering inputs, mark-ups, and redline comments and translate them into accurate EPLAN documentation.

• Collaborate with Electrical Engineering, Automation/Controls, Mechanical, HVAC, Production, Quality, Suppliers, and Project Management to ensure effective project coordination.

• Provide technical support to production and commissioning teams during panel assembly, wiring, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning.

• Implement drawing revisions and maintain accurate as-built documentation.

• Maintain and improve EPLAN macros, templates, device data, libraries, page structures, tagging conventions, and numbering standards.

• Review and incorporate customer, supplier, and internal comments in accordance with project procedures.

• Identify and raise technical issues, missing information, design conflicts, and unclear requirements.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of electrical design processes, documentation standards, and production efficiency.

• Ensure documentation complies with applicable electrical standards, CE marking requirements, quality procedures, HSE requirements, and project specifications.

What We're Looking For

• Technical education in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Electrotechnics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Minimum 5 years of hands‑on experience with EPLAN Electric P8.
• 2–5 years of recent experience in electrical schematic design, preferably for industrial panels, control boards, switchboards, or automation systems.
• Strong knowledge of electrical schematics, panel design, control circuits, power distribution, and industrial automation.
• Proven experience producing cable lists, termination lists, wiring diagrams, BOMs, component lists, and complete electrical documentation packages.
• Practical experience with terminals, relays, contactors, drives, PLC/I/O interfaces, instrumentation, power supplies, and protection/control components.
• Experience reading and implementing engineering mark-ups, redlines, revisions, and as‑built documentation.
• Good understanding of relevant electrical regulations, standards, CE requirements, quality procedures, and HSE expectations.
• Strong attention to detail, organisation, and technical accuracy.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
• Good written and spoken English and Portuguese.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work on challenging international industrial projects.
