Project Electrical Engineer in England

Are you an experienced electrical project engineer looking to work on a major UK defence infrastructure programme? Are you driven by quality, delivery, and making a real impact in the built environment? Then Crown House Technologies could be the company for you.

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has announced the appointment of Laing O'Rourke and five other contractors to a new alliance to build Single Living Accommodation (SLA) for the Armed Forces. The alliance will run for six years and will deliver 16,000 new bedspaces as part of a wider MOD plan to build or refurbish 40,000 SLA bedspaces over ten years. The programme forms part of DIO's new Programmatic Approach for SLA, designed to improve delivery efficiency, drive value for money, and enhance the lived experience for service personnel.

CHt will be delivering the MEP works which will be commencing in September this year, with roles based at RAF Waddington (Lincolnshire) or Albemarle Barracks (Northumberland). We are now looking for experienced Electrical Project Engineers to register their interest ahead of mobilisation.

If you join us, you'll be a valued member of an industry leading team and company that can offer you an exciting and varied career with access to nationally significant projects. We are committed to extensive training, development, and long-term career opportunities and as such this role is suitable for someone seeking long-term career progression within project delivery.

As an Electrical Project Engineer, you'll play a key role in the delivery and installation of electrical building services, working closely with subcontractors, consultants and the wider project team to respond to technical queries, resolve site issues and coordinate installation activities. This is a delivery-focused role supporting site execution, quality assurance, commissioning and handover across LV systems, power distribution, containment, lighting, fire alarm, security and associated infrastructure.

What skills & experience are we looking for?

• Strong understanding of electrical building services installation (LV distribution, containment, lighting, fire alarms, BMS interfaces, etc.).
• Previous project delivery experience on major construction or infrastructure projects (ideally within defence or other highly regulated environments).
• Experience managing subcontractors and coordinating works on site.
• The ability to select & manage innovative methods, use of materials & safe systems of work.
• Effective communication with senior management, designers, consultants, clients and the wider project team on technical matters.
• Practical application of engineering principles and problem-solving in a live construction environment.
• Establish and oversee local implementation of engineering systems, documentation and controls to comply with H&S legislation and Company standards.

Don't match all the criteria? We are always open and happy to hear from people with transferable skill sets and a commitment to learning.

These projects are mobilising ahead of a September start, and we are engaging early with experienced electrical engineers who want to be part of the delivery team from the outset. If you are interested in being considered for opportunities at either Waddington or Albemarle, we encourage you to register your interest now.
