Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England
£30k - 35k per year + 30K to 35K + Pension + Bonus

The Company has a reputation built on innovative thinking, excellence of execution and solid, yet flexible, partnerships with an impressive list of clients.

They are the premier supplier of above or below ground haulage equipment in the UK, if not the world - their equipment is specified more than any other manufacturer; and their commitment to speedy after sales support and dependable reliability is second to none.

They are looking to appoint an Electrical Engineer to take a key role in product development and contribute to the ongoing success of the company and its products.

Key responsibilities will include:

Ensure effective liaison with all other areas of the business to support the completion of all contracts to customers on time in full.

Liaise closely with the Sales Department to ensure designs conform to customer requirements, including applications engineering.

Liaise with Manufacturing Department to ensure that designs are produced to customer requirements and are compliant with relevant Company design and manufacturing standards.

Produce engineering related calculations in support of designs.

Produce technical information in support of product manuals associated with new designs.

Take an original approach to problem solving, whilst maintaining a commercial awareness towards the design solution.

Fully support the Chief Engineer in the development and maintenance of a cohesive team identity within the business and ensure effective liaison with all areas of the business in pursuit of clearly defined team objectives.

The successful individual will be degree qualified, or equivalent, and ideally have experience in the Railway, Off-Highway or Yellow Vehicles Industries operating in hostile environments, though this is not necessarily required if the candidate demonstrates an attitude and an ability to learn.

A knowledge of AC and DC traction systems, PLC and micro control systems together with Panel wiring and vehicle wiring looms would be an advantage but is not essential.

Experience on Autocad is essential as this position will involve some design work/draughting.

Key Result Areas:

Conformance to all appropriate standards and practices both internal and external.

Contribution to Product Development.

Contribution to Customer satisfaction as evidenced by factors such as delivery, conformance to specification, quality and value for money.

Design quality:
