Job Description

Electrical Engineer – Water Sector Projects

Thames Water region – mix of home and site-based work

Randstad are working with a specialist engineering consultancy that supports Thames Water on a wide range of water treatment projects. They’re looking to bring in an Electrical Engineer to help manage and deliver project work across the region.

The role

You’ll be joining a small but well-established team of engineers who focus on EICA delivery for clean and wastewater treatment schemes.

Rather than just delivering designs, you’ll work directly with the client, owning your projects, offering consultancy advice, and helping guide programmes from start to finish.

You’ll manage a portfolio of schemes, engaging with both internal and external stakeholders. The work will include:

• Technical leadership on electrical and EICA elements
• Regular client engagement and consultation
• Coordination with mechanical, civil and process teams
• Site visits and meetings across the Thames Water patch
• Hybrid working, with most of your time split between home and client locations

What we’re looking for

• A background in electrical engineering
• Experience in project delivery or design consultancy (Instrumentation experience beneficial)
• Comfortable managing your own workload and working directly with clients
• Water sector experience is helpful, but not essential
• Full UK driving licence

Why it’s worth applying

You’ll get ownership of your own projects without being lost in a huge corporate structure.

The team is well respected by Thames Water, and you’ll be joining at a time when there’s plenty of forward workload. On top of this you'll get a strong package including annual bonus and greater flexibility and freedom than most.

Please apply below and a consultant will reach out with more information.
