LV Electrical Design Engineer Rail

Are you a Low Voltage Electrical Design Engineer with UK rail experience who can produce designs in MicroStation and contribute immediately?

Do you enjoy solving practical engineering problems and working hands-on across LV station systems, signalling power and E&P works?

Salary: £40,000 to £60,000 DOE
Location: Derby, in office 3 days per week.

A well-established SME railway electrical services provider is looking to appoint a permanent Electrical Design Engineer to join its busy in-house design team based in Derby.

You will play a key role in producing high-quality low voltage electrical designs across a range of rail infrastructure projects, including station schemes, signalling power and E&P works.

Essential Experience

• Experience as an Electrical Design Engineer within the UK rail industry
• Strong low voltage electrical design experience, including areas such as station systems, signalling power and points heating
• Proficiency in MicroStation with the ability to produce designs independently
• Experience working to Network Rail standards, processes and procedures
• Ability to manage your own workload and work with minimal supervision
• Experience carrying out cable sizing calculations
• A proactive approach with the confidence to solve problems and find information independently

Desirable Experience

• Experience using ETAP and/or Trimble
• Knowledge of BIM processes and 3D modelling
• Design checking and approval experience
• CRE license or previous CRE experience

This is a genuine delivery-focused engineering role. You'll be joining a specialist SME where engineers remain technically involved and are encouraged to take ownership of their work rather than becoming solely reviewers or managers.

The team is looking for someone who can contribute from day one, show initiative, and take responsibility for producing quality designs with minimal direction. In return, you'll gain exposure to a wide variety of projects, work closely with experienced rail professionals and have a clear route for career development.

If you're looking for a role where your technical ability will be valued and where you can make a visible impact on project delivery, we'd like to hear from you.
