About The Role
This role requires expert knowledge in the field of Electrical Engineering, including Instrumentation, Control and Automation (EICA) design with a specific focus on the water/wastewater treatment industry. Ideally, the Senior Electrical Design Engineer will have extensive experience in the development of EICA design solutions in municipal settings and will be expected to support projects in the industrial sector.
The Senior Electrical Design Engineer will be required to provide design leadership, which will extend to mentorship of intermediate and junior designers and project engineers. The Senior Electrical Design Engineer will integrate within our multi-disciplinary design team and will work alongside external consultants and supply chain partners to develop robust design solutions.
The Senior Electrical Design Engineer will play a major part in solution selection, EICA design, application engineering, proposal support, and operational support. Experience in the development of the whole cycle of treatment processes from the concept and detailed design stage through to commissioning and handover is essential.
The Senior Electrical Design Engineer will demonstrate a strong understanding of the quality, safety, and commercial drivers associated with the design and delivery of projects and will be expected to bring an innovative approach to bespoke projects. The Senior Electrical Design Engineer will constantly promote electrical safety in electrical equipment selection and installation and will encourage an awareness of electrical safety across the organisation.
The Senior Electrical Design Engineer UK reports to the Design Manager UK.
The role may require the EICA design engineer to support the design of Coffey projects based in Ireland. The extent of this support is anticipated to include internal check and review processes, and to occasionally cover the design input on projects. Location: The role will be hybrid, based at Coffey UK Head Office in Burntwood, Staffordshire, with an option to work from home on days subject to agreement with the Design Manager. Travel will be necessary to visit live project locations and meet customers and clients. Key Duties and Responsibilities: Supporting the Design Manager to deliver Coffey Group design works across UK for public and private sector clients (with occasional support of projects in Ireland). Perform preliminary and detailed EICA design of water/wastewater treatment plants. Application of appropriate software to provide advice, solutions, and successful outcomes to achieve contract objectives. Developing and adopting standards in design to streamline engineering tasks. Liaise and develop relationships with external consultants, supply chain partners, contractors, and other stakeholders. Determine the applicable design and installation standards, ensuring they are applied on projects. Actively mentoring, training, and providing guidance to staff within the EICA engineering team. Developing cable schedules, block diagrams, and single line diagrams. Ability to plan and develop electrical layout drawings, including cable runs and ducts, using CAD packages or software as applicable. Developing motor and instrumentation schedules. Developing drive and load schedules. Developing hardwired interlock schedules. Experience of developing I/O, FDS, and Control Philosophies for Water and Wastewater infrastructure. Contribute to functional design specifications. Testing (FAT and SAT) of MCC and control panels. Inspection and assessment of electrical installations. Assist in the development of commissioning procedures and project-specific plans. Assisting the commercial/estimating team members in developing CAPEX and OPEX models for electrical, instrumentation, control, and automation equipment and systems. Technical specification and report writing. Occasional travel required to project sites. About You Desirable Skills, Experience and Qualifications: Bachelor (Hons) Degree in Electrical Engineering. 10+ years of experience in EICA Design in the water/wastewater sector. Chartered status preferred; working towards Chartered status is essential. Professional Membership of a relevant institution. Proven experience in delivery of technical designs. Excellent technical and commercial knowledge of electrical infrastructure design, construction, and commissioning. Experience of electrical installations, MCC, SCADA, and PLCs in the water/wastewater industry. Familiarity with design of site power distribution, cabling, pumps, DOL and start-delta drives, variable speed drives, and the various types of motorized plant common within the water/wastewater industry. Strong organisational skills and report writing experience with experience of relevant electrical standards. Proficient in Microsoft Office suite and knowledge of 2D/3D CAD software. Ability to work efficiently, whether on their own or in a team environment. Strong people skills. Diligent with attention to detail. Full and clean UK/EU driving licence. About Us Coffey is a family-owned water infrastructure and civil engineering specialist established in 1974. We are passionate about safety and have been delivering critical infrastructure projects on time and within budget for nearly 50 years. The hallmarks of our contracts are innovative solutions, engineering ingenuity, professional construction management, and adherence to the highest safety and quality standards.
