Lead Electrical Engineer

Overview

In this role you will lead the electrical design output for high-value marine products from concept to production support. You’ll ensure design standards across the range and drive buildability, change control, and continuous improvement, working closely with Production, Engineering and Supply Chain. The role emphasizes delivering precise 2D electrical drawings and harness routes that align with manufacturing constraints. You will shape electrical design processes and contribute to R&D activities in a collaborative, technically demanding environment. This is a hands-on opportunity to influence product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain electrical design standards across the product range
• Produce, check, update and issue 2D electrical schematics and panel drawings (AutoCAD)
• Create accurate cable/harness routing schedules aligned to installation and manufacturing constraints
• Lead and manage the design change request / engineering change process for electrical design
• Deliver design packs to agreed timescales and quality standards
• Work closely with Production, Engineering and Supply Chain to ensure designs are buildable and consistent
• Contribute to continuous improvement, value engineering and R&D activity

Key requirements

• Strong background in electrical design engineering (AC/DC systems)
• Confident producing detailed 2D CAD electrical drawings (AutoCAD preferred)
• Good understanding of design-for-manufacture / design-for-installation principles
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities
• Confident communicator who can collaborate across design, production and supply chain teams
• Competent with MS Office (Excel/Word/Outlook)
