Job description

Lead Electrical Manager, Major London Landmark Project

Location: Central London

Salary: Up to £120,000 plus industry-leading benefits

Employer: Confidential Tier One Main Contractor

A major contractor known for delivering some of London’s most complex and high-profile builds is seeking an experienced Lead Electrical Manager to take ownership of the electrical delivery on a landmark commercial project in Central London.

This nine-figure scheme is already underway and represents one of the capital’s most ambitious mixed‑use developments, combining scale, complexity and quality. This is a career-defining opportunity to lead from the front in a technically challenging, fast‑paced environment.

This is not a back‑office coordination role. You will lead the electrical strategy and delivery across shell, core and fit‑out, from early‑stage design resolution through to commissioning and client handover. You will be a senior voice within the delivery team, working closely with the wider services team, project directors, consultants, and top‑tier subcontractors.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading electrical coordination and design resolution across a major commercial development
• Managing delivery, quality assurance, technical compliance, and programme risk
• Overseeing commissioning, handover and close‑out
• Acting as the electrical lead across design workshops, technical reviews and client updates
• Working closely with construction leads to maintain programme and performance

What You’ll Bring

We are looking for someone with a strong record of managing large-scale electrical packages on complex new build projects. The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience delivering major commercial or mixed-use projects in Central London
• Strong knowledge of electrical systems, building services integration and commissioning
• Confidence leading consultant and subcontractor coordination
• The ability to drive performance and resolve issues in a fast‑paced site environment
• A clear, assertive communication style with senior-level credibility

Why Apply

• Up to £120,000 salary depending on experience
• Strong package with bonus, private healthcare, and pension
• A pivotal role on one of London’s flagship live developments
• Support from a technically strong MEP leadership team
• A long‑term opportunity to grow into senior services leadership
