What you'll do * Review customer specifications and translate requirements into practical electrical engineering solutions * Develop preliminary electrical concepts and designs during the sales, applications and bid phase * Carry out electrical engineering calculations and assess project power requirements * Develop solutions involving **HV/LV power distribution, MCCs, switchgear, control panels, instrumentation, PLC/control systems and electrical auxiliaries** * Produce and review **single\-line diagrams, load schedules, cable schedules, equipment specifications and electrical schematics** * Support equipment sizing, selection and specification across power distribution, protection, controls, instrumentation and electrical interfaces * Review customer drawings, technical specifications, data sheets and applicable international standards * Prepare technical documentation and specifications to enable accurate project costing * Liaise with manufacturers and suppliers to obtain technical information, equipment selections and costs * Coordinate cost estimates for electrical equipment and complete systems * Prepare detailed **technical proposals, quotations and tender documentation** * Work closely with Sales, Engineering, Project Management, Supply Chain and external suppliers * Support technical discussions with customers throughout the bid process * Attend customer meetings in the UK and internationally * Support projects from initial enquiry through to contract award and successful handover into project delivery What you'll bring * 2\+ years' experience within **Applications Engineering, Proposals Engineering, Electrical Design Engineering, Technical Sales Engineering, Tendering** or a closely related role * Experience working with **industrial electrical equipment, power systems or larger engineered systems** * Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles, including **AC/DC systems, power distribution, protection and controls** * Experience taking customer specifications or project requirements and developing an appropriate technical solution * Experience with electrical calculations, equipment selection/specification and electrical drawings or schematics * Experience preparing or contributing to **technical proposals, tenders, quotations, cost estimates or bid documentation** * Ability to interpret technical specifications, electrical drawings, schematics and data sheets * Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear and technically accurate customer\-facing documentation * Strong analytical and problem\-solving skills * Commercial awareness and an understanding of how engineering decisions affect project cost and customer requirements * HND or equivalent engineering qualification, ideally within Electrical Engineering or a related discipline; a degree would be advantageous Particularly relevant experience Experience within an **OEM, systems integrator, EPC, industrial engineering business or manufacturer of large/capital equipment** would be particularly relevant. We're interested in backgrounds involving: * Power generation equipment and systems * Industrial power systems * HV/LV power distribution * Switchgear and MCCs * Generators and electrical auxiliaries * Control panels * PLCs, controls and automation * Protection and control systems * Instrumentation * Packaged or modular industrial equipment * Grid infrastructure and grid stability * Hydrogen * Carbon capture * Industrial energy recovery * Industrial water treatment * Nuclear You don't need experience across every area. The key requirement is the ability to apply your electrical engineering knowledge to **complex industrial equipment or systems and develop technical solutions around customer requirements** . Candidates coming from Electrical Design or project engineering backgrounds will also be considered where they can demonstrate strong hands\-on engineering/design capability and experience developing technical solutions. The details This is an opportunity to join a growing international engineering group at an exciting stage of its development, with significant investment being made into its energy and technical sales capability. The role is based in **Derbyshire** , with predominantly office\-based working due to the collaborative and technical nature of the position. There may be some flexibility for particularly experienced candidates with highly relevant industry knowledge. **Salary: £30,000 to £50,000 DOE** Benefits include: * 5% matched pension * Private healthcare * Competitive bonus * EV salary sacrifice scheme * Cycle\-to\-work scheme Please apply directly or, for any questions, contact **george.taylor@everec.co.uk** .
