Job description

Senior Electrical Building Services Engineer

Location: West Yorkshire

Salary: £55,000 - 65,000

Specialism: Design / Operations

Duration: Permanent

Job Ref: SEDE/BS/TBL

Our client is a national MEP Consultancy with close to 25 years of experience, operating primarily in West Yorkshire and providing technical design and supervisory services to end users and developers. As a leading independent M&E design and build contractor, they have a turnover of approximately £100 m and employ around 200 staff across five companies.

Alongside traditional mechanical and electrical building services design, they offer their customer base a range of supervisory duties, acting as the “eyes and ears” of the scheme once projects hit site, from monitoring contractors through to witnessing, commissioning and snagging.

With new projects due to commence in the early part of 2026, the business is looking to attract an experienced Electrical Building Services Engineer who can help lead projects and provide a confident client-facing service. The appointed Electrical Engineer could come from an M&E Consultancy background and be seasoned in the design of cable sizing and lighting calculations, or from an M&E Contractor with a strong design awareness to check drawings, while offering strong project management skills and navigating the commercial challenges once installation commences.

The appointed Engineer will need to promote a confident demeanour, drive results and achieve deadlines. Many of the schemes are large in size, meaning many companies and engineering disciplines work together to reach both individual and collective targets at any one time. Clear and concise communication, positive collaboration and setting realistic expectations are absolutely key.

Applications are invited from technically competent and professionally qualified Electrical Building Services Engineers who enjoy managing projects and coordinating key information. Whilst predominantly an office-based job, there will be a need to visit sites across the UK to build relationships and offer a client-facing service, so the position is best suited for an Engineer comfortable attending sites and contributing to meetings and performance reviews.

The company operates hybrid working and also facilitates remote working opportunities for those living elsewhere within the UK.
