Support resolution of technical issues during assembly and FAT
Engineering Change Management
Oversee customer and internal engineering changes (ECR/ECO), ensuring controlled updates to drawings, BOMs, and documentation with minimal impact on production and schedule
Continuous Improvement
Analyse engineering issues and feedback from production, FAT, and customers to drive improvements in design quality, manufacturability, and engineering processes

Degree in Engineering (Electrical Engineering preferred)
5+ years in LV switchgear design engineering within a project-based or industrial manufacturing environment
Proven experience leading and developing engineering teams
Strong understanding of LVSA architecture, system design, and manufacturing constraints
Knowledge of IEC 61439 standards and project execution processes
Familiarity with engineering tools (e.g., EPLAN Electric P8) is an advantage
What Sets You Apart
A technical leader who builds capability – coaching engineers, not just assigning work
Structured, process-driven, and comfortable managing competing priorities
A clear communicator who bridges engineering, production, and project management
Strong sense of ownership with confident decision-making under pressure
What We Offer
A performance-oriented and attractive remuneration, depending on education, qualifications, and professional experience, of approximately EUR 70,000 gross per year, paid in 14 monthly instalments (overpayment above this amount is possible depending on qualifications and experience)
