Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer looking to take the next step in your career? Would you like to get involved with delivering some of the world’s most exciting projects and join a dynamic, growing team who are at the forefront of sustainable design? If so, we want you to join our Building Services team in Manchester as a Senior Electrical Engineer!

Located close to Manchester’s Spinningfields cultural hub, our office in the Trinity Building offers an ideal place from which to make the most of this vibrant area. Our welcoming and diverse team is working on some of the most prestigious and innovative projects in Manchester, across the UK and around the world. From sustainability-focused offices and commercial premises to cutting-edge healthcare facilities and from award-winning retail developments to major new residential communities, you’ll have the opportunity to play a major role in delivering schemes across a huge range of sectors.

An opportunity has arisen within Waterman Building Services Manchester, for the position of Senior Electrical Engineer. Working as a key member of the team, you will be provided with the autonomy to design electrical services in many sectors of the industry and be client facing, representing the company.

To fulfil this role, you will need to be degree qualified, or in the process of obtaining your degree (or equivalent), demonstrate suitable design experience in the building services sector (preferably across a variety of sectors) and be an effective communicator, both verbally and in the production of reports and specifications.

Key requirements:

• You will have experience in using recognised design software tools such as REVITT and ideally have exposure to MagiCAD
• Have great communication skills that can adapt both to external parties and clients but also within the team

• Experience of people management is desirable
• Future flexibility will be needed for regular co-operation, travel and inter-office working
• In house expertise for Electrical enquiries

Within Waterman we now carry out our projects in the 3D environment and are rolling out StabiCAD design tool across all offices. While a detailed knowledge of this software is not a essential (training will be provided) an awareness of working in a 3D environment is, as is a knowledge of cable sizing and lighting design software.

As well as a competitive salary, Waterman has a friendly and professional working environment with a strong team spirit, offering opportunities to work on a variety of projects with many blue-chip clients. Waterman promotes the development of individuals skills and offer career progression opportunities.

What’s on offer for you as Senior Electrical Engineer:

• Excellent future career opportunities
• 26 days holiday per year, rising to 31 days with loyalty days, plus bank holidays
• Hybrid working arrangements
• Fantastic training and development culture
• Access to mentoring support from industry experts
• Opportunity to play a key role in exciting and varied projects
• Opportunity to be client facing and the chance to get involved with business development and marketing activities

At Waterman we are committed to our people, our communities, and the planet. We are transforming our business and offering our most exciting opportunities yet so now is the time to join us.

We are a Disability Confident organisation, committed to an active Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunities Policy starting with our recruitment and selection process.

If successful, an interview will be arranged at a time convenient for both you and our hiring manager, the initial conversation may be via Teams but we are, of course, keen for you to visit our offices, meet the team and therefore, we’d love to meet you face-to-face for a follow up conversation. Good luck, we look forward to welcoming you to the Waterman family!
