Job description

Electrical Design Engineer | Water & Wastewater | Belfast

Vickerstock are pleased to be partnering with an established engineering contractor as they continue to invest in their multidisciplinary design capability supporting major water and wastewater programmes across the UK.

As part of this continued growth, they are seeking an Electrical Design Engineer with previous water industry experience to join their engineering team.

With an immediate workload supporting ECI projects for Severn Trent and United Utilities, you will have the opportunity to influence projects at an early stage before supporting their development through tender and into detailed design and delivery.

Why this opportunity?

• Work on major AMP8 water and wastewater programmes
• Immediate involvement with Severn Trent and United Utilities projects
• Gain exposure to ECI rather than working exclusively at detailed design stage
• Work across the full design lifecycle from tender through to construction
• Collaborate directly with mechanical, process, civil and project delivery teams
• Join a growing engineering function with long-term opportunities for development

Your new role as Electrical Design Engineer

• Contributing to ECI, optioneering and value engineering activities
• Developing designs through tender, design development and detailed design stages
• Coordinating electrical requirements with mechanical, process and civil engineering disciplines
• Working alongside project and construction teams to develop practical and buildable solutions
• Reviewing design information and supporting technical assurance
• Providing engineering support throughout project delivery and resolving design queries as required

What you will need to succeed as Electrical Design Engineer

• Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• Previous electrical design experience within the water or wastewater sector
• Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles relevant to water infrastructure
• Experience producing calculations, specifications and technical design documentation
• Experience working within multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Consultancy, contractor and design & build backgrounds will all be considered
• Chartered status, or progression towards Chartership, would be advantageous but is not essential

What's in it for you?

In return, you can expect:

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• 25 days annual leave plus statutory holidays
