Overview

About my client: A leading Australian manufacturer of low‑voltage switchgear/switchboard and electrical distribution equipment is looking for a Technical Switchboard Project Engineer. The business combines deep engineering expertise with a customer‑centric approach. You'll join a collaborative team where sales and engineering work side‑by‑side to deliver high‑quality solutions.

The Role

The Electrical Sales Engineer owns the technical integrity, feasibility and margin of all customer solutions.

  • Create and review BOMs, sketches and cost estimates for custom or modified assemblies
  • Collaborate with Engineering and Operations to confirm build feasibility and delivery timelines
  • Contribute technical content and cost detail to formal tender submissions alongside the account team
  • Track quote‑to‑actual cost variance; recommend improvements to enhance accuracy and margin
  • Support development of quoting templates and standards for recurring work
  • Engage with customer‑side engineers and technical buyers to clarify solution details and resolve issues
Ideal Profile & Experience
  • Electrician trade qualification or Diploma/Advanced Diploma in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)
  • Hands‑on experience in technical estimation, panel design or applications engineering
  • Confidence interpreting customer drawings, specs and AS/NZS standards
  • Strong commercial acumen with a focus on margin preservation
  • Excellent communicator—able to liaise with internal teams and external technical contacts
