Ideally, you will have:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• UK experience in electrical building services design
• Experience delivering electrical designs across different project stages
• Confidence managing your workload and taking responsibility for project delivery
• Good communication skills and experience working directly with clients and wider design teams

What's on Offer?

You’ll be joining a collaborative team of experienced engineering professionals, with the opportunity to work across a broad range of projects and sectors throughout the UK.

The consultancy offers a supportive working environment, with opportunities to develop your technical expertise, take on greater responsibility and progress your career.
