Electrical design

Joe Turton

Hello All,

I am currently a fully qualified testing and inspecting electrician running my own business however would really like to move into the design side of the industry but have limited experience doing this. 
Most companies are looking for people with existing experience. 
Does anyone know a suitable place/company/area to start?

Thanks,

Joe

    Hi Joe,

    If you are already a competent electrical installation inspector, tester and verifier. One would presume that you already have an intimate knowledge of the BS7671 standard as amended, after all thats the function of the inspector/tester especially on new installations as you are cconfirming the "Design" and the "Installation" is actually appropriate for the circumstances of the actual project.

    As Sparkingchip suggests the C&G 2396 course and qualification, would certainly be a great place to start. Also need to consider what type of installation/s you may wish to design, as obvioulsy designing a installation for a retail shop, totally diffrent from a factory etc.

    I would start with the 2396.

    Cheers GTB

    Thank you all. I will look further into the 2396. Watch this space for more questions if I go ahead with the course!
