Role: Senior Electrical Design Engineer – Building Services

Salary: Up to around £55k

I am looking to speak with a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to join their dynamic team in Milton Keynes. This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned professional to take on a role combining technical design expertise with client-facing responsibilities.

About the Role

In this pivotal position, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality building services design solutions across a range of projects. You will split your time between:

• 20–30%: Attending site visits, inspections, and client meetings – representing the company with confidence and professionalism.
• 70–80%: Hands-on design work, contributing your expertise to produce innovative, efficient, and compliant solutions.

Although flexible – they're ideally looking for someone who enjoys being part of a collaborative team environment rather than working remotely.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver mechanical or electrical building services design projects from concept through to completion.
• Attend client and design team meetings, providing clear communication and technical expertise.
• Conduct site visits, surveys, and inspections as required.
• Mentor junior engineers, supporting their professional growth.
• Liaise closely with other disciplines to ensure fully coordinated designs.
• Ensure all work complies with relevant regulations, standards, and best practice.

About Yourself

To succeed in this role, you will have:

• 5+ years of proven UK experience as an MEP Consultant in building services, or within a design department of a contractor.
• A degree or HND in Building Services Engineering, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, or similar.
• Chartered or working towards CEng status (desirable).
• Strong technical design skills and proficiency with industry-standard software.
• Excellent communication skills and a professional, presentable manner.
• Confidence to attend meetings, represent the company, and liaise directly with clients and contractors.
• Ability to manage your own workload and take ownership of projects.

Why Join?

• A respected consultancy with a strong reputation for quality and reliability.
• Opportunity to work on varied and challenging projects.
• Support for professional development and career progression.
• Friendly, supportive team culture in our Milton Keynes office.

If you are ready to take the next step in your career and enjoy a role that combines hands-on design work with client-facing responsibilities, we would love to hear from you.
