Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Senior Electrical Design Engineer

(Senior preferred – open to Electrical Technicians & Maintenance Engineers looking to move into design)

The Opportunity

We’re recruiting on behalf of our client, a global leader in materials processing equipment, delivering innovative solutions across recycling, washing, crushing and screening.

Due to continued demand, they’re expanding their Electrical Team in Dungannon. While this position sits at Senior level, the business is very open to candidates who may be slightly below senior grade, provided they can clearly demonstrate strong electrical capability, practical experience, and the appetite to develop further into design.

This is an excellent opportunity for hands-on engineers who want to transition into electrical design, as well as experienced design engineers seeking flexibility and technical ownership.

Formal qualifications are preferred but not essential. Real-world experience and technical competence are equally valued.

Top 3 Things to Know

• Senior level preferred, flexibility on grade for strong candidates

• Hybrid / flexible working available once established
