Job description

Design the next generation of healthcare and pharmaceutical projects!

Are you an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer looking for a technically rewarding role without the commute into Leeds? Join a Wakefield-based building services design consultancy delivering innovative pharmaceutical and healthcare projects across the region. You'll work within a close-knit, engineering-led team that values a first-principles, technical approach, giving you the freedom to focus on quality engineering rather than just data entry.

The Opportunity :

In this role, you'll work alongside the Mechanical Director on high-value schemes (up to £15m) for major pharmaceutical clients, local NHS Trusts, and private healthcare providers. You'll also mentor a building services apprentice, sharing your expertise to help develop the next generation of engineers.

The consultancy combines technical excellence with a people-first culture, offering a balance of challenging projects and work-life flexibility. Based in Wakefield, the office provides easy access to the M1, on-site parking, a gym, nearby supermarket, and parkland for lunchtime walks-helping you avoid Leeds traffic while staying at the heart of meaningful, high-impact projects.

They offer a competitive, negotiable salary, up to 25 days' holiday plus Christmas closure, and up to 5% pension contribution, along with a car allowance. You'll enjoy hands-on technical work with real design autonomy and the opportunity to grow with a forward-thinking, expanding practice.

This is an ideal role for a Senior Electrical Design Engineer who values technical challenge, professional growth, and being part of a supportive consultancy that makes a difference in healthcare.
