About the company?

We’re working with a growing energy, sustainability and engineering consultancy with around 200 employees across the UK.

Their Birmingham MEP team works across a broad range of projects, delivering Mechanical and Electrical design alongside wider energy and sustainability services.

Current projects include a 200-apartment development and leisure centre in Kensington, involving full MEP design, alongside school projects covering areas such as EV infrastructure, heat-pump feasibility and energy efficiency.

The role offers a mixture of technical design, project management and portfolio responsibility, giving you the opportunity to become a key member of the Birmingham team rather than simply working on one small part of a project.

They're looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer with a strong Building Services background who is comfortable taking ownership of projects and working with clients and wider project teams.

This could also be a great opportunity for a strong Intermediate Electrical Engineer ready to make the step up into a Senior role.
