Job Title: Senior Electrical Engineer
Salary: From £60k (depending on experience)
Location: Washington, UK (NE37 3HB)
Overview
Enspec is evolving its manufacturing capability, and this role sits at the heart of that shift. We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who combines deep technical expertise with hands-on manufacturing experience. You will lead the delivery of high-quality engineered products—harmonic filters, PFC equipment, and wider power-quality systems—through accurate design, robust manufacturing packs, thorough testing, and strong root-cause analysis.
You’ll act as a technical authority within our manufacturing environment, ensuring our products meet IEC/BSI standards, comply with grid codes, and are built reliably, safely, and to spec. You will also support onsite surveys to inform accurate design data, taking a share of the responsibilities currently held by junior engineers as the team develops.
This role requires initiative, high technical standards, and the ability to bridge design with real-world manufacturing and testing.
The Role
- Manufacturing Delivery & Engineering Support
- Produce complete, accurate, and manufacturable engineering packs—including schematics, BOMs, wiring diagrams, layouts, build instructions, and test plans.
- Provide real-time technical support to the manufacturing team during assembly, wiring, build, and FAT.
- Lead fault diagnostics and root-cause analysis for manufacturing issues, field returns, or test failures.
- Own engineering change control and ensure updates flow efficiently into manufacturing documentation.
- Coordinate and lead factory acceptance testing (FAT), including test documentation, witness testing and compliance checks.
- Ensure all manufactured systems meet IEC, BSI and other relevant UK and international standards.
Design & Technical Leadership
- Lead the design and development of advanced electrical systems such as harmonic filters, power factor correction systems, switchgear interfaces and LV/HV assemblies.
- Validate designs through calculation, simulation, or modelling as appropriate.
- Drive continuous improvement in manufacturability, product quality, and design consistency.
Technical Standards & Compliance
- Maintain working knowledge of IEC/BSI standards for design, manufacturing, testing, and safety.
- Ensure all designs and manufactured items comply with internal quality procedures and external certification requirements (ISO, grid codes, client specifications).
- Support documentation and risk assessments relating to electrical safety, test procedures, and compliance.
Site Surveys & Client Interface
- Conduct electrical site surveys to capture measurements, installation constraints, and integration requirements.
- Prepare clear survey reports to feed into accurate design and manufacturing planning.
- Support pre-installation and post-installation technical queries.
Testing, Validation & Quality Assurance
- Lead end-to-end testing and validation of products—including insulation testing, functional testing, continuity checks, harmonic filter tuning checks, etc.
- Develop test rigs, procedures, and commissioning documentation to support consistent product validation.
- Identify failure modes and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
Collaboration, Mentorship & Cross-Team Work
- Work closely with manufacturing, engineering, procurement, and project teams to ensure smooth product delivery.
- Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and technicians, helping them build diagnostic and manufacturing-readiness skills.
- Support cross-functional initiatives to improve quality, reduce build time, and strengthen standardisation.
Qualifications and Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field; a Master’s or higher is preferred.
- Significant hands-on experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on design and development of electrical systems.
- Extensive experience in the renewable energy sector and related industries.
- Deep understanding of electrical standards and regulations, both national and international.
- Proven track record of technical innovation and practical application in electrical engineering.
- Proficient in using advanced electrical engineering software and tools for design and analysis.
- Excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to tackle complex technical challenges.
- Strong project management skills with experience leading technical projects to successful completion.
- High level of attention to detail and commitment to quality.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly in technical documentation.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative technical team.
Preferences
- Proficiency with electrical CAD/design tools (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or similar).
- Experience in the design of reactive power compensation and power quality systems from 11 kV to 400 kV, including harmonic filters and associated equipment.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop junior engineering talent.
- Commitment to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest advancements in electrical engineering.
Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Flexible working hours and a supportive work environment.
- Opportunities for career growth and advancement within a dynamic and growing company.
- Training and development opportunities to enhance your skills and knowledge.
- 24 days of holidays plus bank holidays.
