Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Design of electrical control systems using AutoCAD and seeing the design through the manufacturing process to site installation and commissioning. I work as part of a team on my project to deliver a high quality complex control system for customers in the Nuclear sector. I communicate with the customers and with experienced engineers to ensure a product of high quality is developed that meets all requirements.
