Key Responsibilities:

• Implement company policies and procedures.
• Carry out electrical design and project management across diverse projects.
• Manage the design team while providing engineering support.
• Liaise with clients and attend project-related meetings.
• Maintain and expand existing client relationships.
• Conduct surveys and produce comprehensive reports.
• Perform quality inspections on projects.
• Utilize CAD systems per company protocols.
• Monitor financial performance of projects.
• Formulate and uphold electrical standards within the organisation.
• Mentor and guide junior staff members.

Experience:

• In-depth knowledge of current Building Regulations, particularly in energy-related controls.
• Experience within a consultancy environment or as part of a large contractor in a design role.
• Project management expertise across multi-disciplinary projects.
• Capability to produce detailed specifications and design calculations.
• Proficient in CAD systems with the ability to produce manual drawings.
• Experience in producing tender packages and conducting tender analysis.
• Competence in budget costing for various service aspects.
• Ability to carry out site surveys across the UK.
• Experience in on-site project management and condition reporting.
• Direct client liaison experience.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, alongside the opportunity to grow within a supportive team environment. If you are a passionate engineer ready to take the next step in your career, we encourage you to apply.
