Freelance Electrical Engineer

The primary function of the job is with the COE Electrical Engineering & Application team which is part of the COE Engineering department and role reports into the Teamleader COE Engineering. As Electrical Engineer you will make drawings/electrical schematics for LVS orMVS switchgear based on guidance from application engineering, product knowledge, customer specifications, necessary safety precautions, EHS guidelines, design guidelines, international and Eaton standards as part of the engineering to order process.

Essential Functions:

As Electrical Engineer you will draw electrical schematics based on guidance from application engineering, product knowledge, customer specifications, necessary safety precautions, design guidelines, international and Eaton standards as part of the engineeringto order process. You will prepare the technical specifications for the purchase of electrical components, takes care of a complete and accurate list. You will create wiring diagrams to be used in production for the assembly, based on schematics, components list, mechanicalconstruction and positioning of components. You will document all activities, data and information in line with procedures.

Other duties, you will:

• Investigate technological developments and working methods with regard to Electrical Engineering, advise about possible improvements and, after approval of management, implement these;

• Execute several projects at the same time in order to deliver on time; Ensures quality by actively organizing and doing peer reviews. Is budget aware and is able to estimate hours, stay within the agreed budget and looking for possibilities to beat the budget.

• Actively analyzes and investigate issues occurring or opportunities to improve work quality, on time performance, efficiency in execution by means of improvements in processes, tooling, drawing methods/guidelines in close cooperation with application engineering and management. Is pro-active in self learning of new methods, product knowledge or tooling.

• Work on standardizing schematics and supports engineering in new product development or VAVE (Value Added/Value Engineering) projects.

• Be able to guide other electrical engineers of other Eaton facilities to guide them in preparing electrical schematics or wiring diagrams for orders.

• Be a team member for order projects: proactively communicate with all stakeholders involved (application engineering, electrical engineering colleagues, order management, planning, mechanical engineering, work preparation, supply chain and assembly) on both technical matters and process, planning related matters. Proactively communicates feasibility and progress of work within the required quality, timing and budget deadlines.

Requirements

• Bachelor Electrical engineering or equivalent based on experience.

• Minimum of 2 year experience in designing schematics of Electrical type of industrial equipment

• Experience in Low and Medium Voltage systems and technology

• Experience of International standards on IEC systems and EHS.

• Elcad, EB, Eplan, or other schematic tooling applications

• Procedures, company rules, guidelines (national and international), law, rules & regulations, standards, safety, quality and environmental guidelines as far as applicable

• Dutch (v/w), English (v/w) and German (v) language is a plus.
