  Knight Electrical Switchgear Ltd

  Mar 2016 - Jul 2019

  Senior Design Engineer / Project Manager

  Self-Employed Electrical EngineerI have found in my role as a Project Engineer over the last 10 years, that the key to providing a quality service is attention to detail and coordination with the client and end user, ensuring each bespoke design solution meets the full project requirements. This often requires the ability to think ‘outside the box’, to find improvements on the initial proposed designs, and thus gives the ability to value engineer projects to the benefit of both client and employer. Another key to success is the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. For the design of bespoke LV Switchgear, I have found that my varied experience within the installation contracting sector of the industry has assisted me greatly. This, coupled with good communication with clients, consultants and installation companies, I have found is essential to provide an easily workable solution for final installation after delivery.Job Roles:• Responsible for the design from initial pre-construction engineering, materials specification, to meet client requirements and specifications• Project management through to completion and delivery of both workshop and site builds, including modifications of switchgear• Working with AutoCAD to assist in production of design and as installed drawings• Estimating of any project variations up to £10k• Responsible for tendering, procurement of materials, supplier negotiations for value engineering and sub-contracted services• Use of SEC estimating software Show less
