Electrical Engineer

Scope of Accountability

The Electrical Design Engineer is accountable for the design, documentation and compliance of electrical systems across CEL's LV switchgear product range, including:

• Electrical schematic design for LV switchboard assemblies in accordance with UL standards (including UL891, UL62368-1, UL508A, UL1008S, UL1008, UL67)
• General Arrangement drawing preparation in coordination with Mechanical Design
• Component selection and sizing — ACBs, MCCBs, contactors, relays, protection devices and busbar systems
• Electrical calculations — fault level, load, cable sizing, busbar rating and thermal analysis
• BOM generation and maintenance for all electrical designs
• FAT procedure support and technical documentation preparation
• Control logic, interlocking and communication interface design where required
• Compliance verification against UL standards, NFPA, client specifications and internal quality procedures
• Structured project documentation management
• Familiar with IEC Standards

Electrical Design & Schematics

• Review and interpret client specifications, one-line diagrams and project requirements, translating them into compliant, detailed electrical designs
• Design low voltage switchgear assemblies in accordance with applicable regional standards
• Develop complete electrical schematic drawings using EPLAN or equivalent software, to the required accuracy and documentation standard
• Prepare General Arrangement (GA) drawings in close coordination with the Mechanical Design team
• Select and size electrical components — ACBs, MCCBs, contactors, relays, protection devices and busbar systems — appropriate to the project specification
• Perform basic electrical calculations including fault level analysis, load calculations, cable sizing, busbar rating and thermal considerations
• Ensure proper coordination and discrimination of protective devices across all designs
• Incorporate control logic, interlocking schemes and communication interfaces (Modbus, Profinet, and equivalents) where project requirements demand

Documentation & BOM Management

• Generate and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) for all electrical designs
• Support FAT procedures and prepare associated technical documentation to the required standard
• Maintain structured, organized project documentation throughout the design and delivery lifecycle
• Ensure all designs are compliant with IEC standards, client specifications and CEL's internal quality procedures, and that compliance is documented appropriately

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Supplier Liaison

• Provide technical support to Production during panel assembly and wiring — resolving queries promptly and accurately
• Liaise with suppliers for technical clarifications, component selection and confirmation of design feasibility
• Collaborate actively with Mechanical Design, Project Management and Production to ensure designs are aligned with all functional, assembly, and project requirements

Requirements

Background

• An electrical engineer with hands-on experience in LV switchgear design and schematic development — ideally within the switchgear, power distribution or electrical panel manufacturing sector
