Based in our offices in Bristol, a qualified Electrical Services Design Engineer is required to work on a wide range of interesting projects in various sectors including commercial offices & industrial sites, undertaking refurbishments & fit outs as well as new installations, plant replacement and site wide energy strategies, feasibility studies, project monitoring and trouble shooting.

The successful candidate will either be at the upper end of engineer level or has recently reached senior engineer level. The applicants should ideally be qualified with a degree or to a high technical level, preferably Chartered or actively working towards becoming Chartered.
