Senior Electrical Design Engineer in London

In life, there is generally an easier way and a harder way in most things. Had enough of battling with contractors, working to unachievable deadlines, and projects that have been costed so tightly that there is no time for unforeseen changes? Consider working within a Commercial Property Consultancy who manage large estates and portfolios of buildings on behalf of some of the world's leading businesses.

Managing these buildings offers the opportunity to engage and work on all of the M&E Design projects that occur during the building's lifetime. Essentially, Commercial Property Consultancies have their own in-house client base and have developed fully functioning, in-house M&E Consultancies which feed off of the M&E projects across all of their clients' buildings and portfolios.

As they manage all aspects of a client's property portfolio from buying, selling, leasing, etc., along with anything technical, including building surveying, PM, sustainability/NZC, and M&E including full detailed design (stages 0-4), this means that Commercial Property Consultancies do not have to competitively tender for projects. This results in projects being costed correctly, creating profit and not loss, resulting in a less pressurised environment, with acceptable working hours and providing the luxury of being able to recruit more engineers when required, pay well, and reward well with significant annual bonuses.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer based in either a central London office or working from home, you will be part of a team working on projects from concept design through to stage 4 detailed design. When in the office, you will work from a state-of-the-art facility which is a showcase for current thinking in contemporary office design and technology. However, all employees will be expected to work flexibly with part of their week working at home.

This is a completely unique career opportunity, a client-side role that will give you direct access to clients, working on the client's behalf as part of the client team, acting as the client's representative on projects. You will be offered responsibility for managing projects with support from the wider M&E team and be given the opportunity to develop both your design skills and your commercial client-facing and project management skills - not something that is available within traditional design consultancy, which will accelerate your career past your peer group.

There is structured training and a clear route for progression to Associate Director and beyond, along with excellent CPD opportunities within the team. Although this Commercial Property Consultancy employs over 50,000 staff, they still put people before profit.

In addition to a salary up to £60,000, they also offer one of the best employee benefits packages in the industry consisting of:

• Flexible working hours and a 35-hour week as standard
• Annual bonus, up to 15% of your basic salary
• 12.5% Pension
• 27 days leave (plus Bank Holidays)
• Life assurance
• Private medical
• Option of buying or selling 5 days leave
• Interest-free season ticket loan or cycle to work scheme
• Board Representative - get to speak to the Executive board where your voice can be heard.
