Trainee Motor Control Engineer information

What is the difference between Trainee Motor Control Engineer vs Electrical Engineering Intern?

AspectTrainee Motor Control EngineerElectrical Engineering Intern
CredentialsTypically pursuing or holding a degree in electrical or control engineeringUsually undergraduate students in electrical engineering or related fields
Work EnvironmentHands-on training in motor control systems, automation labs, manufacturing plantsAssisting in electrical design, testing, and research projects in labs or offices
Industry UsageCommon in automation, robotics, manufacturing sectors

The Trainee Motor Control Engineer focuses specifically on motor control systems and automation, often requiring specialized knowledge in control theory and electrical systems. In contrast, an Electrical Engineering Intern has a broader scope, gaining experience across various electrical disciplines. Both roles serve as entry points into the electrical industry, but the Trainee Motor Control Engineer role is more specialized towards motor control applications.

Job description

Project Engineer, North America

Energy Drive Systems is a global leader in industrial energy efficiency, delivering Intelligent Motor Control and Energy Efficiency-as-a-Service (EEaaS) solutions to heavy industry. As we continue expanding across North Ameirca, we're looking for an experienced Project Engineer to support the delivery of technically complex projects throughout the region.

This is a senior, field-based role for an engineer who enjoys taking ownership—from technical design reviews through commissioning, optimisation and final client handover.

What you'll be doing

You'll lead the technical delivery of projects involving:

  • Medium & Low Voltage electrical systems
  • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
  • Industrial automation and PLC/SCADA systems
  • Energy optimisation and industrial process improvements
  • Factory and Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT)
  • Commissioning, troubleshooting and client handover

Working alongside multidisciplinary teams, you'll ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest engineering standards.

Requirements

We're looking for someone with:

  • 10+ years' experience delivering heavy industrial engineering projects
  • A background in Electrical Engineering, Automation or Mechatronics
  • Strong knowledge of MV/LV electrical systems and Variable Frequency Drives
  • Experience with industrial automation platforms such as Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider or ABB
  • Commissioning and troubleshooting experience within live industrial environments
  • Professional fluency in English
  • Willingness to travel across North America (mainly mid-west)

Experience within steel, mining, manufacturing, utilities, process industries or other heavy industrial environments would be highly advantageous.

Benefits

At Energy Drive Systems, you'll work on challenging industrial projects that deliver measurable improvements in energy efficiency and operational performance. You'll collaborate with experienced engineering professionals, contribute to innovative solutions and play a key role in helping heavy industry reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real impact while working on projects across North America, we'd love to hear from you.
