• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of knowledge–sharing and development
• Attend project meetings, undertake site visits and support bid/tender processes

What We're Looking For:

• Solid experience in electrical design for infrastructure, buildings, rail, or construction
• Strong grasp of systems such as:
  • LV/HV distribution
  • Lighting (internal, external, emergency)
  • Power systems and load assessments
  • Standby generation and UPS
  • Earthing and bonding
• Proficiency in tools like AutoCAD, MicroStation, Amtech, Hevacomp, Dialux, or similar
• Minimum of HND in Electrical Engineering, Building Services, or related field
• Working knowledge of the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations
• Ideally progressing toward IEng/CEng (IET, CIBSE) or keen to do so

What's in It for You?

• Flexible working and hybrid set–up – autonomy to work your way
• 25+ days holiday + bank holidays – plus your birthday off every year
