​Electrical engineers tend to get treated as an afterthought to the mechanical team. Not here. Our client runs electrical design as a genuine discipline in its own right, with its own workload, its own leadership route and its own say in how projects get delivered.

They're looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer who wants more responsibility without waiting another five years for it. If you're currently doing senior-level work under an intermediate title, or you're senior already and bored of being the safest pair of hands in the office, this is worth a look.

What you'll be doing

• Leading electrical design packages across commercial, residential and mixed-use developments

• Producing power, lighting, small power, fire alarm and containment designs from concept to completion

• Reviewing and sizing distribution boards, cabling and protective devices

• Liaising directly with clients and the wider design team at coordination meetings

• Supporting and reviewing the work of intermediate and graduate engineers

• Keeping designs compliant with BS 7671, Part L and CIBSE guidance

What you'll need

• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Building Services or similar

• 5+ years' UK consultancy experience in electrical building services design

• Working towards or holding Chartered status (CIBSE or IET)

• Confident use of Amtech, Dialux or Revit

• Experience taking a project from initial concept to site delivery

What's in it for you

• A clear path to Associate and beyond, with real projects to prove it, not just a job title

• Flexible and hybrid working

• Chartership and CPD support

• A seat at the table on projects, not just a seat at the desk

If you want to know what the role actually pays, who you'd be working for and whether it's worth moving for, get in touch and we'll talk it through properly before you commit to anything.
