Senior Electrical Engineer (NPD)

Bourne, Lincs

Up to £75k pa

Office based role

The Role

We are on the lookout for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Client’s New Product Development team.

This is not about tinkering at the edges — you’ll be shaping the next generation of products that are depended upon globally.

What You’ll Be Doing

Turning customer and market requirements into real product concepts (yes, voice of the customer actually matters here).
Leading electrical design work, from calculations to CAD schematics and drawings.
Running and supporting product FMEAs, validation programmes, and testing schedules.
Ensuring system integration hits performance targets and is designed for manufacture (no one likes last-minute bodges).
Producing technical specs, BOMs, test reports, and customer documentation.
Spotting and implementing improvements by keeping an eye on new and emerging technologies.
Driving process improvements across the department to make things run smarter.
Making sure every product is compliant with relevant safety codes and standards.

What You’ll Need

An electrical degree (BSc/BEng) or equivalent qualifications, plus solid industrial/product experience.
At least 5 years in an NPD role.
Confidence with AutoCAD/SolidWorks Electrical and Microsoft 365.
Strong understanding of HV, MV, and LV circuits
Energy, drive, problem-solving grit, and the ability to make sound decisions.
Excellent communication skills — you’ll be engaging with customers, suppliers, and cross-functional teams.
Organised, detail-oriented, and able to deliver on time.

What You Might Not Like

This isn’t a “sit behind the desk and tweak drawings” type of role. It’s hands-on, dynamic, and sometimes messy.
The pace can be fast, and priorities shift — flexibility is part of the job.
Standards and compliance are non-negotiable. If you cut corners, you’ll stick out like a sore thumb.

What To Do Next

If you’re excited by the idea of taking electrical design from concept through to real-world impact — and you’ve got the track record to prove it — we’d love to hear from you. Throw your hat in the ring, send us your CV, and let’s talk.
