General Overview of Role

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Electrical Design Engineer with proven experience in the design and development of low voltage (LV) switchgear systems. The successful candidate will be responsible for the full lifecycle design process — from concept through to production and installation — ensuring compliance with UK standards and client specifications.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a dynamic engineering team delivering high-quality electrical design solutions for a range of industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects across the UK and globally.

The Prism Power Group of Companies provides a complete package of power system technologies to a principally blue chip client base from its extensive technical portfolio of products and services.

The role will be based full time at our offices in Watford, UK.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop LV switchgear systems (typically up to 1000V AC) for a range of applications in line with BS EN 61439 and other relevant standards.
  • Produce detailed schematics, wiring diagrams, GA (general arrangement) drawings, and BOMs (Bill of Materials) using CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical).
  • Specify electrical components such as circuit breakers, contactors, relays, protection devices, PLCs, etc., suitable for project and regulatory requirements.
  • Collaborate with project managers, panel builders, clients, and other stakeholders to ensure designs meet performance, cost, and schedule goals.
  • Carry out design calculations for cable sizing, fault current, load flow, and thermal management.
  • Ensure compliance with UK electrical standards and regulations (e.g., BS 7671 IET Wiring Regulations, BS EN 61439, CE/UKCA marking).
  • Provide technical support during manufacturing, installation, and commissioning stages.
  • Conduct design reviews and assist in value engineering and continuous improvement activities.
  • Maintain up-to-date documentation and revision control of all design outputs.

Essential Qualifications

  • Degree or HNC/HND in Electrical Engineering or related discipline or equivalent qualification by experience.
  • Proven experience in LV switchgear design, ideally within the UK market.
  • Familiarity with UK wiring regulations (BS 7671) and BS EN 61439 standards.
  • Proficiency in electrical CAD software.
  • Experience working with form 2, 3, or 4 assemblies, busbar configurations, and enclosure systems.
  • Strong understanding of protection coordination, control circuits, and metering.
  • Excellent problem-solving, organisational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Please note applicants must be resident and have the permanent right to work and remain in the UK in order to apply.

Desirable Skills and Experience

  • Experience with PLC integration and control panel design.
  • Familiarity with panel manufacturing processes and workshop practices.
  • Awareness of switchgear design considerations, including IP ratings, EMC considerations, and thermal performance.
