Technical Project Engineer

Technical Project Management

• Take technical ownership of assigned control panel projects from order through to completion.
• Manage projects from client drawings and specifications through post-Sales design development and adaptation, client approval, production, testing and delivery.
• Coordinate multiple projects, acting as the central link between clients and Engineering, Procurement, Production and Quality.
• Liaise with the Site team and coordinate technical requirements, queries and issues arising during project delivery and installation.
• Monitor progress and proactively address technical, programme, commercial or resource issues.
• Assist Sales in preparing and pricing project work, considering technical requirements, component selection, labour, materials and other project costs.
• Ensure project requirements, decisions, changes and approvals are clearly communicated and documented.
• Maintain accurate project documentation to ensure technical data is controlled and up to date.
• Drive projects forward and ensure outstanding actions are resolved promptly.

Client and Technical Coordination

• Produce accurate engineering Bills of Materials (BOMs) using relevant engineering and ERP tools.
• Prepare and maintain drawings, models, layouts, specifications and other technical documentation.
• Ensure engineering documentation is accurate, complete and maintained throughout the project lifecycle.
• Ensure design changes and revisions are accurately reflected in all relevant documentation.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of standardised design libraries, templates, BOM structures and component databases.
• Prepare client-specific technical documentation as required.

Liaison with Production and Quality

• Act as the key technical point of contact for designated clients throughout the project lifecycle.
• Build effective relationships with client engineering and project teams, understanding their technical standards, specifications and preferred equipment.
• Liaise with the Site team to resolve technical queries and coordinate project requirements.
• Review client drawings, schematics, specifications and equipment schedules, identifying technical issues, omissions or impractical requirements.
• Respond to technical queries and requests for information, providing practical and commercially appropriate solutions.
• Discuss design changes and alternative solutions with clients and secure the required approvals.
• Lead technical meetings, client discussions and site visits as required.

Electrical Design and Engineering

• Review client schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts and technical documentation, applying a strong practical understanding of controls and switchgear.
• Interpret client-issued CAD documentation, and use 2D CAD to amend and update electrical drawings and layouts.
• Update drawings and technical documentation, working with Engineering where detailed design input is required.
• Identify design issues and specification conflicts and develop practical, manufacturable solutions.
• Identify and evaluate alternative components where specified equipment is unavailable, unsuitable or commercially impractical.
• Resolve technical issues as they arise, applying a practical understanding of control systems and associated building services, including HVAC controls, BMS and networked control systems.
• Ensure solutions meet project requirements and applicable standards, including where designs need to be adapted for different standards or markets.
• Ensure approved technical changes are accurately reflected in project documentation.
• Promote practical, standardised and efficient solutions where appropriate.

Procurement and Commercial Considerations

• Support the pricing of jobs and technical variations, providing input on materials, components, labour requirements and other technical cost considerations.
• Work with Procurement to confirm component availability, lead times, suitability and cost.
• Consider cost, availability and lead time when developing technical solutions.
• Balance technical requirements, client expectations, Production schedule and budget when recommending solutions.

Production and Testing Support

• Maintain technical ownership as projects progress into Production.
• Ensure Production has the correct, approved drawings, specifications, BoMs and technical data.
• Provide technical support throughout panel manufacture, wiring and assembly, resolving queries and production issues as required.
• Manage technical changes arising during manufacture and ensure they are appropriately approved and documented.
• Support the investigation and resolution of production and testing issues and non-conformances.
• Support FAT preparation, testing and client inspections, coordinating the resolution of outstanding technical issues.
• Where required, liaise with site and commissioning teams to support the resolution of technical issues during installation, commissioning and project handover.

Project Closeout

• Manage outstanding client comments and technical actions through to closure.
• Support final project sign-off and handover.
• Ensure final drawings, as-built documentation, manuals and other technical deliverables are completed and issued.
• Ensure production changes are accurately reflected in final documentation.
• Conduct post-project reviews and identify opportunities for improved processes, standardisation and project efficiency.

Quality, Health & Safety and Compliance

• Carry out all activities safely, following company procedures and quality policies, risk assessments, safe working practices and industry standards.
• Maintain awareness of the hazards associated with control panels and LV switchgear.
• Use tools, equipment and PPE correctly and ensure they are maintained in good condition.
