Job description

Overview

Graduate Electrical Engineer – Birmingham. Flexible hybrid working arrangements available. Kick-start your career in building services design with a forward-thinking consultancy delivering landmark projects across multiple sectors. This is an opportunity to learn from experienced engineers, develop technical expertise, and grow into a highly capable, well-rounded electrical engineer.

About the Company

You’ll join a dynamic MEP consultancy based in Birmingham, specialising in practical, low-carbon design solutions across commercial, residential, healthcare, education, and heritage sectors. They are renowned for: delivering innovative, pragmatic solutions that balance sustainability with cost-effectiveness; upholding core values of integrity, honesty, and trust in all client and team interactions; fostering a culture where learning, mentorship, and professional growth are actively encouraged.

Key Responsibilities

• Support senior engineers throughout all stages of project delivery—from pre-planning and concept design to detailed design, construction, commissioning, and handover.
• Develop and refine electrical design elements including: HV/LV distribution systems; Power and life-safety systems; General, emergency, and external lighting; IT/data infrastructure; Access, security, fire-alarm, and lightning protection systems.
• Contribute to low-carbon and sustainable design initiatives, energy consultancy, and pre-design analysis.
• Participate in site activities such as reviewing contractor submissions, witnessing tests, commissioning, snagging, and as-built documentation.
• Apply BIM Level 2 methodologies and CAD tools to coordinate MEP systems, detect clashes, and produce 3D modelling deliverables.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver projects in alignment with RIBA stages 0–7.

Who You Are

• A recent graduate or early-career engineer with a degree in Electrical, Building Services, or a related discipline.
• Curious, proactive, and committed to continuous learning.
• Passionate about sustainable, low-carbon design and delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
• Strong problem-solver who can translate theory into practical applications.
• Effective communicator and team player, capable of thriving in dynamic environments.
• Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit, or BIM processes is desirable.

Learning & Development Opportunities

• Mentorship from Chartered engineers with decades of industry experience.
• Exposure to a broad range of sectors: Healthcare, Education, Commercial, Residential, Heritage, Life Sciences, Defence, and more.
• Hands-on experience across the full project lifecycle—concept to completion.
• Opportunity to contribute to low-carbon and sustainable engineering projects.
• Support to achieve professional development goals, including progression toward Chartered Engineer status.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Be part of a values-driven, collaborative team where your contributions directly impact project outcomes.
• Gain early responsibility and real-world experience on exciting and high-profile projects.
• Work in a culture that rewards curiosity, innovation, and personal excellence.
• Build a career where both your personal growth and the success of the business are valued.
• This role is perfect for a self-motivated graduate eager to develop into a technically skilled, forward-thinking electrical engineer.

If you are ambitious, passionate, and ready to learn from industry experts, this could be your next career step
