JOB DESCRIPTION
We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Electrical Design Engineer with expert-level EPLAN P8 skills. This role is central to our mission of delivering flawless and efficient power solutions. The ideal candidate will be responsible for rapidly translating single-line diagrams into comprehensive wiring schematics and manufacturing documentation for our EPOD variants. You will leverage your deep knowledge of IEC/NEK standards and collaborate closely with build teams to ensure designs are robust, compliant, and buildable from the switchboard to the final site wiring. If you thrive on technical challenges and are driven by precision and speed, we want to hear from you.
Company Brief Description:
NordicEPOD
https://nordicepod.com/ is at the forefront of the data center industry, specializing in the design, manufacture, and deployment of prefabricated, modular power infrastructure known as ePods. Their mission is to deliver scalable, efficient, and rapidly deployable infrastructure solutions to meet the growing global demand for data processing and storage. Serving hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise clients, NordicEPOD emphasizes sustainability and operational excellence in its innovative designs, enabling the future of cloud computing and AI.
Responsibilities:
- Translate single-line diagrams into detailed EPLAN P8 schematics, switchboard arrangements, and bill of materials (BOM).
- Develop, maintain, and expand the macro library to automate repetitive tasks and enhance efficiency.
- Conduct design reviews with build teams to ensure manufacturability and implement feedback.
- Update and maintain as-built documentation to reflect the final constructed state.
- Ensure all designs comply with relevant IEC (IEC 60364 as the main standard) and NEK (Norwegian Electrotechnical Committee) standards, particularly for switchboard construction.
- Generate comprehensive manufacturing documentation packages following tender awards.
- Integrate designs into the switchboard and site wiring level, ensuring a holistic and practical approach.
- Interpret existing wiring diagrams and transform them into complete and detailed schematic sets.
- Collaborate closely with fabrication and installation teams to ensure the buildability and field accuracy of your designs.
Requirements:
- At least 5 years of experience with EPLAN P8
- Need EPLAN experience from industrial sectors (maritime, oil & gas, etc) rather than residential or commercial building projects.
- A minimum of 4 years of experience in LV/MV electrical design.
- Expert-level proficiency in EPLAN P8.
- Experience making switchboard general arrangement drawings (EPLAN or AutoCAD).
- A deep understanding of IEC and NEK standards, including NEK 400, especially as they apply to switchboard construction.
- Must know EU LVD (2014/35/EU).
- Demonstrated ability to convert wiring diagrams into comprehensive schematic sets.
- Experience in designing for both switchboard manufacturing and on-site wiring installations.
- Excellent written and spoken English communication skills.
- Travel to Norway once every quarter (so the candidates should be based in Europe)
Preferred:
- Experience with Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and data center power infrastructure.
- Proficiency in EPLAN scripting or other automation tools to streamline design processes.
- Experience with EPLAN ProPanel.
- Training in EPLAN preferred (e.g., courses), but can also be self-taught
Salary:
Up to €6,000 per month (excluding fees), based on experience and qualifications.
