A well-established, privately owned multidisciplinary engineering consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineer to join its growing Building Services team. With around 200 engineers across the UK, the business has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality, sustainable engineering solutions across the commercial, residential, education, healthcare, hospitality, industrial and public sectors. Despite its size, it has retained a collaborative, people-first culture where engineers are given the autonomy to take ownership of projects while being supported by experienced colleagues.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Electrical Engineer who enjoys combining technical design, project leadership and client engagement. You'll lead projects from concept through to completion, working closely with architects, structural, civil and mechanical engineers within a genuinely multidisciplinary environment. Alongside delivering technically excellent designs, you'll mentor junior engineers, build client relationships and play an important role in the continued success of the team.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead the electrical design and delivery of projects across a range of sectors
  • Produce and review calculations, specifications and technical reports
  • Coordinate with multidisciplinary design teams throughout the project lifecycle
  • Attend and lead client, contractor and design team meetings
  • Undertake site inspections and provide technical support during construction
  • Mentor and support graduate and intermediate engineers
  • Maintain high technical standards across project delivery

About You

  • Experience within a building services consultancy
  • Strong technical knowledge of electrical building services design
  • Experience leading projects and coordinating multidisciplinary teams
  • Excellent communication and client-facing skills
  • Experience using industry-standard electrical design software
  • Chartered status, or working towards Chartership, would be advantageous

Why Apply?

  • Join a successful, privately owned consultancy with an excellent reputation
  • Be part of a collaborative team of around 200 engineers across the UK
  • Work on a diverse portfolio of technically challenging projects
  • Enjoy genuine project ownership and client exposure
  • Strong emphasis on learning, mentoring and career progression
  • Flexible working and a supportive, down-to-earth culture where people are trusted and valued

This role would suit a Senior Electrical Engineer looking to join a consultancy that combines the stability and project portfolio of a larger business with the culture and flexibility of an independent practice. If you're looking for more responsibility, greater client exposure and a clear route towards Principal or Associate level, this is an excellent opportunity.
