About the role

We have a brand‑new opportunity for an Electrical Engineer to join our team based in our Plymouth or Exeter offices.

We have a well‑established reputation for delivering outstanding design on built environment projects throughout the Southwest and further afield. Working alongside a range of specialist engineers and consultants, you will join a collaborative, knowledgeable, highly engaged team who love what they do and offer a supportive, flexible, and high‑performing work culture.

As an Engineer, you will be responsible for the design delivery of significant and complex engineering projects.
