The Opportunity

An established independent engineering consultancy is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to join its growing building-services team. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys technically challenging projects, working closely with clients and design teams, and taking genuine ownership of projects from early concept through to delivery. You'll become part of a multidisciplinary environment where electrical, mechanical and sustainability specialists work closely together to develop practical, efficient and future-focused building solutions.

The Role

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you'll be involved in the technical delivery and management of a variety of projects across sectors including commercial, residential, education, leisure, hospitality and mixed-use developments. Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading electrical design packages from concept through detailed design and construction.
• Producing and reviewing calculations, specifications, drawings and technical reports.
• Designing LV distribution, lighting, emergency lighting, power and associated electrical systems.
• Working collaboratively with architects, contractors, developers and other engineering disciplines.
• Attending design and client meetings and acting as a trusted technical point of contact.
• Reviewing designs and providing technical guidance to more junior engineers.
• Helping to manage project programmes, budgets and deliverables.
• Supporting the development of junior and intermediate members of the electrical team.
• Contributing to sustainable and energy-efficient design solutions.
• Using modern design and coordination tools, including CAD/BIM environments.

What's on Offer

This is more than an opportunity to move into another engineering role. You'll join a well-established consultancy where experienced engineers have the opportunity to take ownership, develop their technical expertise and play an important part in the continued growth of the electrical team.

You can expect:

• Varied projects across multiple sectors.
