Job description

Your new company

We are working with a small Building Services Practice based in Kent looking to hire an Electrical Design Engineer on a Freelance basis. Set up a couple of years ago by two Directors who wanted to move from a larger business and start up on their own. They have now expanded to 5 and are winning plenty of work going into the New Year. They work across sectors, but the majority of their current work comes from Commercial Fit out work and a few larger Residential Developments.

Your new role

You will need to be working as a stand-alone Senior Engineer and be able to manage a project from start to finish. You will have worked ideally within the commercial sector on either CAT A or CAT B projects, completing detailed design work. You will have the back-up from a Senior BIM / REVIT Technician, but you will need to complete your own designs single-handed. The position can be offered Outside IR-35 into a Limited Company and the work can be completed remotely with the occasional meeting on site to oversee Contractors.

What you'll need to succeed

You will be a contract Engineer capable of completing detailed designs working with Contractors in the Commercial sector. Ideally, some residential experience but not essential. Ideally, to work outside IR-35 you will use your own licenses and equipment.

What you'll get in return

A competitive hourly rate for a remote role. This will be a 4-6 month contract but likely to be extended as more work comes through. They have a great company culture and ethos and could be a longer term contract option for the right Engineer.

What you need to do now

Please apply by sending an email to Ben Styles at Hays, and we'll call you to discuss.
