Description

I am a UK-based Control Panel Design Engineer with over 10 years of experience in the smoke controls and building services industry. My background combines hands-on panel building and testing with specialist design expertise, giving me a practical approach to producing drawings that work in the real world, not just on paper.

I specialise in AutoCAD Electrical and provide complete design packages including wiring diagrams, panel layouts, terminal schedules, and BoMs, all compliant with BS EN 60204, BS EN 12101, and industry best practice.

I work with contractors, integrators, and manufacturers who need high-quality drawings without the overhead of a full-time designer. Whether it’s a one-off schematic tidy-up or ongoing remote design support, I deliver fast, reliable, and professional results.
