Electrical Design Engineer Computer Aided Design (CAD) MV

Vertiv is a world leader in critical digital infrastructure powering data centres communications networks and industrial operations worldwide. At our Campsie facility we design and manufacture type-tested Medium Voltage (MV) switchgear assemblies.

Position overview

As Electrical Design Engineer (MV) youll coach the team responsible for electrical and mechanical CAD deliverables for MV switchgear. Youll combine technical know-how with people and process leadership to deliver accurate engineering drawings robust design libraries efficient CAD workflows and close collaboration with Project Management Engineering Production & Test teams. This is a hybrid role based at Campsie with occasional on-site presence required for design reviews factory testing and supplier visits.

Key responsibilities

• Coach and develop the CAD team (electrical / mechanical CAD engineers) to deliver high-quality design documentation on time.
• Drive continuous improvement in CAD productivity and quality (automation macros scripting template improvements reuse).
• Help to define & enforce CAD standards templates naming conventions drawing borders (ISO/IEC style) symbol libraries and best practices.
• Produce and approve engineering drawing packages (schematics panel layouts wiring diagrams cable schedules terminal plans bill of materials) that meet technical regulatory and customer requirements.
• Manage resource planning and prioritisation of CAD work and liaise with department managers on workload and recruitment.
• Investigate drawing non-conformances and design issues; identify root-causes and corrective actions.
• Create and maintain training materials and run training sessions for new tools templates and processes.
• Monitor key CAD KPIs and report on delivery quality and continuous improvement metrics.
• Collaborate with electrical design mechanical design production test & quality to ensure drawings are suitable for manufacturing/testing. Attend production review meetings.
• Support Factory and Site Acceptance Tests (FAT/SAT) by providing drawings wiring lists and documentation.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Degree Level - BEng (Electrical Electronic or Mechanical Engineering) or equivalent vocational qualification or experience in a similar role.
• Significant hands-on experience in CAD for electrical/mechanical products ideally with medium voltage switchgear or power distribution products.
• Proven experience managing a CAD team processes and documentation.
• Strong working knowledge of electrical CAD tools (experience with SEE Electrical and/or AutoCAD Electrical strongly preferred) and mechanical CAD (SolidWorks/Inventor or similar).
• Practical understanding of manufacturing and test processes in an electromechanical environment.
• Excellent CAD drafting standards knowledge (ISO/IEC drawing conventions title blocks revision control).
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally.

Desirable Qualifications & Experience

• Experience with PDM/PLM systems (e.g. SolidWorks PDM Teamcenter Windchill).
