Electrical Control Engineer

About the Opportunity

We're supporting a fast-growing engineering and technology business that is expanding its electrical controls capability. The team develops and deploys advanced low-voltage power and automation systems for high-performance, mission-critical environments.

This position is suited to an engineer who enjoys combining hands-on electrical design with controls, automation, testing, and commissioning. You'll work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and field teams to take systems from initial design through production and deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and validate low-voltage electrical and control systems in accordance with UL 508A, UL 891, NEC Article 409, and applicable industry standards.
• Develop electrical schematics, control panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and associated design documentation.
• Create accurate engineering packages including BOMs, wiring documentation, I/O lists, and technical drawings.
• Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and field teams to ensure designs can be efficiently manufactured, installed, and commissioned.
• Configure and program relays and automation hardware for power control, monitoring, and sequencing applications.
• Develop and validate interlocks, sequencing logic, protection strategies, and fail-safe functionality.
• Integrate and troubleshoot industrial communications including Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, and Ethernet/IP.
• Identify opportunities to improve system reliability, manufacturability, performance, and standardisation.
• Support system testing, troubleshooting, and on-site commissioning.
• Ensure designs and deployed systems meet required safety, quality, and regulatory standards.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience within electrical controls, automation, electrical design, or systems integration.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related STEM discipline, with Electrical Engineering preferred.
• Hands-on experience designing automation, controls, and/or low-voltage electrical systems.
• Experience producing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and technical documentation.
• Knowledge of UL 508A, UL 891, NEC Article 409, or comparable industrial electrical standards.
• Experience using electrical CAD software; SolidWorks Electrical experience is advantageous but not essential.
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, or Ethernet/IP.
• Practical experience testing and troubleshooting electrical, automation, or low-voltage power systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a high level of attention to engineering detail.
• Ability to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, and field-based teams.

Preferred Experience

• UL 508A Panel Design Certification or experience working within a UL-listed manufacturing environment.
• Experience with switchgear, power distribution, industrial control panels, or critical power systems.
• Exposure to data centers, AI infrastructure, mission-critical facilities, or large-scale industrial automation is highly advantageous.
• Experience supporting equipment through design, manufacturing, testing, installation, and commissioning.
