Electrical Designer, UK Commercial Electrical Design

Electrical Designer Required, UK Commercial Electrical Design, UPS / Distribution Board Project

This is a repost due to a client-side delay. The project is now moving again and we are looking to appoint a suitable electrical designer.

I am looking for a competent electrical designer to support with a UK commercial electrical design package.

The project involves upgrading an existing distribution board circuit to feed a dedicated new distribution board, with a UPS feed and maintenance bypass switch incorporated. The requirement is for RIBA Stage 4 design support and Stage 6/as-built updates following installation.

There may be two similar locations, subject to confirmation.

This is electrical design work. It is not web design, graphic design, general CAD drafting, data entry or non-electrical consultancy. If you do not have electrical design experience, this project is not suitable.

The required scope is likely to include:

Review of existing electrical layout and client information
Single line / schematic arrangement
Cable sizing calculations
Voltage drop calculations
Protective device selection
Review of existing distribution board supply details, subject to information provided
UPS / maintenance bypass integration notes
Design assumptions and limitations
Stage 6/as-built update based on installer redlines and final installed details

The installation will be completed by others. I require design support, calculations and drawing/schematic input.

Before appointment, proof of relevant qualifications and examples of previous electrical design work will be required.

Requirements:

UK recognised electrical design qualifications
Good working knowledge of BS 7671
Commercial / industrial electrical design experience
Experience with UPS-backed distribution arrangements preferred
Ability to provide examples of previous similar work
Ability to provide evidence of calculation methodology / calculation outputs
Professional indemnity insurance preferred
Comfortable working from existing drawings, DB information and site-provided data
Clear about assumptions, limitations and information required before design completion

I am not looking for the cheapest option. I am looking for someone competent, reliable and technically sound who can produce work suitable for a commercial contractor/client review process.

Please respond with:

Relevant qualifications
Brief summary of similar work completed
Availability
Confirmation of whether you can provide drawings/schematics as well as calculations
Confirmation of whether you hold professional indemnity insurance
