Summary A Principal Contractor and the leading provider of electrical solutions for rail infrastructure, specialising in Overhead Catenary System (OCS) and High Voltage Traction and Non-Traction Power Supply (HV) is looking to hire an Electrical Design Engineer in their Glasgow or Coatbridge office to support the delivery of complex infrastructure projects across both the energy and rail electrification sector - from early-stage design through to site support and project completion Main Duties:

• Produce & detail check design deliverables & calculations in line with relevant British, European, industry and client standards. (Such as - Reports, Addendums, Design Decision Logs, Design Risk Assessments, Bill of Quantities, Software Analytical Reports and Schematics, etc)
• Develop, manage & utilise design team toolsets to ensure that the team remains industry leading & can drive efficiencies to win work & drive down the cost of infrastructure enhancement (Such as - IEC and ANSI/IEEE power system modelling, EN 50163/50388 traction modelling, BS7671 LV cable calculations, EN 50522 and IEEE80 earthing analysis etc)
• Detail check & produce design drawings using Bentley MicroStation (CAD Software) within the Projectwise data environment. (Such as - Layout Plans, Cross Sections, Single Line Diagrams, Block Diagrams, Wiring Diagrams, Schematics etc)
• Support Site teams with on-site working (where appropriate & required) & update designs to reflect Technical Queries (TQ's), Field Change Requests (FCRs), Site Instructions (SI's), Site Queries (SQ's) and Requests for Information (RFI's)
• Produce & check design outputs to agreed programme timescales, using good time management skills & raise early warnings should timescales not be possible with clear justifications.
• Engage with other disciplines through IDCs & IDRs to develop a fully integrated & high-quality Electrical design output.
• Continuous professional self-development towards chartered engineer status with relevant professional institution.
• Ensure that up to date records of individual projects are maintained and are available for audit purpose.
• Participate in lessons learned & knowledge transfer with the rest of the design team.
• Support implementation of a safe by design approach through all design deliverables, alongside support from peers & senior team members.

What we're looking for:

• Experience in the T&D energy or railway traction power markets
• Understanding of HV/LV systems, substations, earthing, or power system studies
• Ability to produce and review detailed engineering outputs (calculations, schematics, reports)
• A collaborative approach with the ability to work across disciplines
• Technical oversight, mentoring, and design review expertise
• Full driving licence and vehicle
• Full right to work the UK (no sponsorship can be offered)

Salary: Circa £53,000 - £57,000 per annum (DOE) plus package including a car/allowance, 25 days holidays and more. If you are interested in being part of a collaborative and forward-thinking design team and working on technically challenging and high-impact infrastructure projects then get in touch to apply for this Electrical Design Engineer opportunity.
