• Generate and manage documentation for approval, including design risk assessments and component data sheets.
• Contribute to the development of design templates, component libraries, and digital design tools.
• Prepare block cable diagrams and, where applicable, Quick Connect Diagrams for site deployment.
• Maintain up-to-date design records, revision control, and design change logs.
• Maintain accurate records, revision control, and documentation throughout the design lifecycle.
• Undertake electrical designs in accordance with company Standard Operating Procedures (SOP EBD-PP-001).
• Perform load calculations and prepare accurate load schedules with diversity factors applied.
• Conduct peer reviews and ensure compliance with BS 7671 and other applicable standards.
• Collaborate with project managers, mechanical engineers, and clients to ensure designs meet specifications and programme requirements.
• Produce accurate load schedules, cable calculations, and protective device coordination studies using Trimble ProDesign or equivalent software.
• Carry out design feasibility studies including assessment of supply characteristics, load balance, earthing, and cable sizing.
• Ensure all designs meet applicable standards, including BS 7671, IEC 60204-1, EN 60364-1, and relevant EU/UK directives (Machinery, Low Voltage, EMC).
• Ensure designs account for safe isolation, maintenance access, and buildability.
• Identify opportunities to standardize and simplify design processes across multiple project types.
• Prepare detailed design deliverables including Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), block cable diagrams, switchboard layouts, and earthing/bonding schematics..
• Participate in design review meetings and ensure timely delivery of electrical documentation to meet project schedules.
• Support the creation of electrical drawing packs for build and test, ensuring accuracy and traceability.
• Integrate safety considerations such as isolation, lock-off, and access provisions within the design.
• Liaise with Mechanical, Controls, and Manufacturing Engineering teams to ensure system integration and production readiness.
• Produce detailed Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), earthing and bonding diagrams, and cable schedules.
• Support lessons-learned sessions and feedback into design practice improvements.
• Carry out preliminary assessments, including analysis of supply characteristics, earthing arrangements, and cable requirements.
• Review project P&IDs, mechanical submittals, and motor data sheets to inform design.
• Conduct and document peer reviews to verify compliance, buildability, and maintainability of electrical designs.
