Travis Talent Ltd are proud to be recruiting on behalf of a well-established Sheffield-based engineering business that continues to experience strong growth across a range of technically advanced projects. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Electrical Hardware Design Engineer to join a highly skilled engineering team working on bespoke control and automation systems for customers across multiple sectors.

This role would suit someone from an electrical, controls, or systems engineering background who enjoys a varied, hands-on position combining design, problem-solving, commissioning, and customer-facing project work.

The Role

Key responsibilities will include:

• Producing accurate electrical schematics and hardware designs using EPlan or similar software

• Assisting with on-site installation and commissioning across UK customer locations
• Producing technical documentation, test procedures, and commissioning packs
• Supporting design reviews and working closely with wider engineering teams
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant safety and industry standards
• Supporting technical quotations and proof-of-concept activities where required

Requirements

We are keen to speak with candidates who possess:

• Experience designing electrical or electronic systems within an industrial or controls environment
• Previous experience using EPlan, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar packages
• Practical commissioning and electrical debugging experience
• Knowledge of PLC-based control systems
• Understanding of EMC principles and electrical design best practice
• Familiarity with CE / UKCA processes and relevant industry standards
• A proactive, hands-on approach with strong problem-solving abilities

Any experience within safety systems, ATEX environments, NI platforms, or PLC software modification would be highly advantageous.

What’s on Offer?

• Competitive salary package
• Annual bonus scheme
• Healthcare cash plan & wellbeing support
• Enhanced holiday package
• Pension scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Long-term career progression within a growing engineering business

This position will be primarily Sheffield-based, with occasional UK travel to customer sites as part of project delivery.
