The Role

You'll take ownership of electrical design delivery across a diverse portfolio, overseeing projects from initial survey through to handover. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role where engineers are trusted to manage the full lifecycle, rather than being siloed into specific stages.

  • Long-term retail partnerships (notably a 15+ year relationship with Urban Outfitters across the UK & Europe)
  • Decarbonisation projects within the education sector

You'll be client-facing, working closely with stakeholders, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure technically robust and commercially viable solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Electrical design from concept through to RIBA Stage 7
  • Production of calculations, specifications, drawings, and tender documentation
  • Coordination with wider MEP and sustainability teams
  • Client and design team engagement
  • Site inspections, reporting, and quality assurance
  • Supporting feasibility studies and technical reports

About You

  • 5+ years' experience in electrical building services design
  • Strong working knowledge of BS 7671, emergency lighting, and fire alarms
  • Comfortable in a client-facing role with strong communication skills
  • Experience delivering projects within a consultancy or contractor environment
  • Relevant qualification (HNC/HND/Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar)
  • Competent with AutoCAD and electrical design software
  • Full UK driving licence

The Business

  • Well-established consultancy with a strong reputation and long-term client relationships
  • Diverse project portfolio with no pigeon-holing - engineers are encouraged to be well-rounded
  • Growing team with continued investment, including a £40k office refurbishment to expand capacity
  • Collaborative, close-knit environment with engineers working closely together on a daily basis

Salary & Benefits

  • £45,000 - £55,000 (DOE)
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Private healthcare
  • Pension scheme
  • Flexible working hours
  • Employee Assistance Programme
