Electrical CAD Engineer

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented CAD Engineer to join our dynamic software department, which specialises in the configuration, testing, and deployment of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), control systems, and power monitoring systems. 

The CAD Drawing Engineer will support the Power Software & Controls team by producing and maintaining high-quality technical drawings and documentation for electrical systems and control architectures. This role bridges engineering design and project execution, ensuring accurate representation of power systems, control panels, wiring layouts, and integration schematics. The position requires close collaboration with electrical engineers, software/control specialists, and project teams to deliver precise, standards-compliant drawings that support manufacturing, installation, and commissioning activities.

This is an excellent opportunity for a graduate or early-career professional to gain hands-on experience in automation and control engineering, working alongside a team of experts in a fast-paced and innovative environment.

• →Develop and maintain detailed CAD drawings, including electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and system integration drawings.
• →Translate engineering concepts, specifications, and design inputs into accurate and structured technical drawings.
• →Support Power and Controls engineers in the design and documentation of UPS systems, switchgear, control panels, and automation systems.
• →Ensure all drawings comply with company standards, industry regulations, and project-specific requirements.
• →Manage drawing revisions, version control, and documentation updates throughout the project lifecycle.
• →Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve design issues and incorporate feedback into updated drawings.
• →Assist in preparing documentation packages for manufacturing, installation, and client delivery.
• →Maintain organized records of drawings and technical documentation within project databases or PLM systems.
• →Contribute to continuous improvement of drafting standards, templates, and workflows.
• →Support site or commissioning teams by updating “as-built” drawings when required.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
• Experience in CAD drafting within electrical, power, or controls engineering environments.
• Proficiency in CAD software such as AutoCAD, EPLAN, or similar electrical design tools.
• Solid understanding of electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control panel layouts.
• Familiarity with power systems (e.g., UPS, switchgear) and industrial control systems is preferred.
• Knowledge of relevant standards and regulations (e.g., IEC, ISO, or local electrical codes).
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to produce accurate and high-quality technical drawings.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet project deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience with document management or PLM systems is an advantage.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
