Job description

PRINCIPAL ELECTRICAL ENGINEER | READY FOR THE NEXT STEP?

Manchester | Hybrid | Competitive Salary

If you're a Senior/Principal Electrical Engineer who has reached the point where you want more influence, more ownership and a team of your own, this could be one worth having a conversation about.

We’re representing a leading multidisciplinary engineering consultancy that is looking to appoint a Principal Electrical Engineer to lead a team of around 3–4 engineers/designers and take technical ownership of a portfolio of high-profile projects.

This isn't a role where you'll simply be reviewing drawings and attending meetings.

Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a team of 3–4 Electrical Engineers & Designers
• Take technical ownership of major projects
• Lead electrical design from RIBA 1–7
• Be the senior technical voice with clients
• Influence design strategy and engineering solutions
• Coordinate with Mechanical, Structural & Architectural teams
• Mentor and develop the next generation of engineers
• Support bids, tenders and business development
• Help shape the continued growth of the electrical team

The Projects

Think complex, technically challenging schemes rather than repetitive work.

• Healthcare
• Data Centres / Mission Critical
• Commercial & Workplace
• Education
• Residential & High-Rise
• Industrial & Manufacturing
• Public Sector

Who are we looking for?

You could currently be a:

Senior Electrical Engineer looking for that first Principal opportunity

or

Principal/Associate Engineer ready for a bigger platform.

You’ll need strong UK Building Services experience, excellent electrical design knowledge and, importantly, the ability to lead people as well as projects.

CEng / MCIBSE would be advantageous, alongside experience with Revit, AutoCAD and electrical calculation/design software.

Why this role?

Because you're not just being brought in to fill a seat.

You’ll have the opportunity to build a team, influence projects, develop clients and have a genuine say in how the electrical discipline moves forward.
