Electrical Engineer – LV Switchgear Design & Power Systems

The Role – Electrical Engineer The Electrical Engineer will take responsibility for the technical design and development of LV switchgear systems, supporting the engineering team in delivering high quality electrical infrastructure solutions.

Working closely with estimators, project coordinators and manufacturing teams, you will oversee technical design, support electrical engineering standards and contribute to the development of reliable, safe and compliant switchgear systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading the technical design of LV switchgear systems based on project requirements
• System Design:
• Create, single-line diagrams (SLDs), electrical schematics and general arrangement (GA) drawings specifically for LV switchboards and motor control centers (MCCs).
• Electrical Calculations: Perform critical LV-specific calculations such as short-circuit withstand, temperature rise, voltage drop, and busbar sizing.
• Busbar & Enclosure Design:
• Design copper or aluminium bus systems and internal compartmentalization to meet arc flash and fault containment requirements.
• Detailed sheet metal design for enclosures including ACB chambers, Busbar chambers and Cable alleys
• Component Selection:
• Select and specify ratings for circuit breakers, relays, fuses, and busbars based on project requirements and electrical load calculations.
• Select and size low-voltage components, including Air Circuit Breakers (ACB), Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB), contactors, and protective relays.
• Cost estimation
• Supporting estimators and project coordinators with technical guidance during project development
• Estimation of Components, Busbar systems, panel/switch board
• Compliance & Standards:
• Ensure all designs adhere to industry codes such as NEC, ANSI, IEEE, UL, and IEC.
• Ensure all designs strictly adhere to UL 891 (switchboards), UL 1558 (metal-enclosed switchgear), or IEC 61439 (international standard for LV assemblies).
• Performing arc flash hazard analysis and ensuring electrical safety compliance
• Customer Submittals:
• Prepare technical submittals for clients, SLDs, Schematics, General arrangements and Bill of Materials
• Manufacturing Support:
• Documentation: Prepare detailed Bills of Materials (BOM), manufacturing instructions, etc.
• Collaboration: Work closely with manufacturing teams to optimize designs for production and with project managers to meet deadlines.
• Testing & Commissioning: Oversee Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), troubleshoot equipment issues, and support field start-up and commissioning activities.
• Software Proficiency: Utilize CAD tools (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks, EPLAN) and power system simulation software like ETAP or SKM.
• Supporting installation and commissioning activities as required.

Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline
• 5 to 10 years of experience in Electrical switchgear engineering including design, installation or commissioning
• Proven experience in electrical design, ideally within a switchgear or power distribution manufacturing environment.
• Strong knowledge of electrical protection systems, relay coordination and arc flash analysis
• Strong technical understanding of LV power distribution systems
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• High attention to detail and commitment to engineering standards
• Strong IT skills including Microsoft Office
• Experience using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, would be advantageous
• Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary engineering team
