Commercial Electrical Engineer

Delteq and EVlution Point are looking for an experienced and versatile Commercial & EV Electrical Engineer to work across both businesses within our group.

This is a varied position combining general commercial electrical work for Delteq with electric vehicle charging installations, site surveys and electrical design for EVlution Point.

This appointment represents the beginning of a new in-house electrical department. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help establish the department's working practices, technical standards and service capabilities.

Initially, this will be a hands-on engineering role. However, as the department grows, there will be a genuine opportunity for the right person to progress into an Electrical Manager or Head of Electrical position, with responsibility for managing engineers and subcontractors and overseeing electrical project delivery across both businesses.

We are therefore looking for someone who is technically capable, commercially aware and comfortable working independently, but who also has the ambition and leadership potential to manage and develop an electrical department in the future.

Please note that this is a hybrid role in terms of working across Delteq and EVlution Point and should not be confused with hybrid home working. Regular travel to customer sites will be required.
