Job description

And it's not for someone who wants to hide behind drawings or paperwork. This role is for an experienced Electrical Engineer who understands risk, compliance, and responsibility, and is ready to step into a position where their judgement actually matters. Our client is a global engineering and inspection organisation trusted to protect people, assets, and businesses across critical infrastructure, industrial, and commercial environments.

The Role

• Inspect LV and HV electrical installations and equipment
• Assess compliance with UK legislation and standards
• Identify risk and explain it clearly to clients
• Produce professional reports that stand up to scrutiny
• Act as a trusted technical authority, not a box‑ticker
• Have a strong hands‑on background and move beyond the tools
• Understand regulations, not just theory
• Be comfortable making decisions and standing by them
• Communicate clearly with non‑technical stakeholders
• Take pride in doing things properly, not quickly

Experience & Qualifications

• Experience in electrical engineering (industrial, commercial, or infrastructure)
• Experience in inspection, testing, commissioning, or compliance
• Working with regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations and BS standards
• Formal qualifications matter, but competence and credibility matter more

The Position

• Permanent, stable position with a respected organisation
• Varied technical work – no two days the same
• Clear structure, professional standards, and support
• Long‑term career path in inspection, risk, and engineering assurance
• Paid for your expertise, not how fast you can install
• A career move, not just a job
