Eplan Electrical Design Engineer

Join a global leader in logistics automation at Joloda Hydraroll. We’re hiring to support rapid growth and expanding client demand, with standout benefits including structured training on Pro Panel, CESE certification, and genuine career progression in a global business. Based in Liverpool with early Friday finishes, you’ll be joining a collaborative, innovative team at the forefront of materials handling technology.

At Joloda Hydraroll, we’ve been “lightening loads around the world” for over 60 years. With more than 500,000 loading systems installed worldwide and a client base including Amazon, Nestlé, DHL, and Unilever, we’re trusted by some of the world’s biggest brands to deliver smart, efficient loading solutions. We’re not just engineers; we’re innovators and problem-solvers who are passionate about creating world-class automation for our customers.

The Role

As our Eplan Design Engineer, you’ll be responsible for developing electrical design deliverables, including schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and control systems, using EPLAN Electric P8 and Pro Panel. You’ll collaborate closely with mechanical, control, project, and service teams to deliver safe, efficient, and manufacturable systems that transform the way goods are moved.

This is a permanent, full-time role based at our Liverpool site, working Monday–Thursday 8am–4.30pm and Friday 8am–2.30pm. While office-based, you’ll occasionally travel to client sites to see your designs come to life.

What’s in it for you?

Competitive salary: £38,000 (EPLAN certified without Pro Panel, with training provided) or £40,000 (with Pro Panel experience).

Career development: Structured training to become a Certified Electrical Safety Engineer (CESE) – fully funded by us.

Early Friday finish: A 2.30pm end to your week.

Generous holidays: 24 days annual leave plus bank holidays.

Global exposure: Work on international projects for some of the world’s most recognised companies.

Supportive culture: Be part of a team that values collaboration, problem-solving, and continuous learning.

Key Responsibilities

Design detailed control panels and electrical schematics using EPLAN.

Collaborate with PLC programmers to integrate Siemens (S7, TIA Portal) and Rockwell hardware.

Select appropriate components and ensure designs meet IEC, UL, and NFPA standards.

Work with engineers across disciplines to deliver manufacturable solutions.

Produce accurate documentation, including cable schedules, harness diagrams, and test plans.

What we’re looking for

Proven experience in EPLAN-based control panel design for automation.

Experience designing systems for conveyor equipment, with knowledge of material handling processes.

Knowledge ofSiemens PLCs(S7, TIA Portal) andRockwell PLCs(ControlLogix, CompactLogix).

Experience with industrial automation and conveyor/material handling systems.

Certification in EPLAN or PLC programming, AutoCAD Electrical experience, or knowledge of HMI systems preferred.

Strong problem-solving, communication, and organisational skills.

Join us and play a key role in shaping the future of logistics automation. Click to Apply

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Robotics Jobs Hub

Robotics is reshaping industries—manufacturing, health care, agriculture, logistics, and beyond. From industrial robots assembling vehicles to surgical robots assisting complex procedures, and from drone deliveries to autonomous inspection systems, the boundaries of what robots can achieve are expanding daily. With rising demand for automation, productivity, and intelligent systems, organisations both public and private are investing heavily in robotics technologies. This surge in adoption has triggered increased demand for professionals skilled in robotics engineering, AI-enabled control systems, hardware design, and integration. The United Kingdom possesses the essential components to become a global robotics jobs hub: world-class research institutions, innovative robotics firms, strong industrial bases, and supportive policy frameworks. This article explores why the UK is well-positioned, where demand is growing, the career paths emerging, and what must occur to fully establish robotics as a powerhouse in UK employment.
