About the Role:

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our team delivering commercial, heritage, and residential building services projects. This is a varied role covering electrical design calculations and lighting design, working across new-build, refurbishment, and sensitive heritage/listed building schemes.

In this key and varied role, you can expect to:

• Take briefs and deliver electrical design work from inception through to completion
• Produce electrical calculations, drawings and technical documentation that comply with relevant regulations, design guides and client standards
• Carry out lighting design and calculations using Dialux and/or Relux, balancing compliance, energy efficiency, and — on heritage projects — conservation sensitivity
• Ensure quality standards and technical accuracy across deliverables
• Coordinate electrical design with other disciplines (mechanical, structural, architectural)
• Review and comment on technical information provided by contractors and sub-contractors; check site installations against the design intent
• Attend and report at design team meetings, client meetings and project meetings
• Witness selected testing and commissioning activities and support handover documentation
• Manage own workload to meet programme deliverables and report progress to your line manager
• Contribute to the professional development of junior colleagues

Additional Responsibilities for Senior Engineer

• Develop briefs and take responsibility for delivering a small project or the electrical discipline on a significant/complex scheme
• Exercise considerable autonomy and take ownership for technical decisions and project delivery within cost constraints
• Delegate, manage and check work undertaken by others; mentor and motivate colleagues across project teams
• Play an active role in commercial aspects (scope, risk, cost control) and ensure outputs meet project and budgetary requirements
• Act as technical lead on heritage/listed building schemes, liaising directly with conservation officers and heritage consultants where required

To be successful in this role you'll need:

• Degree or equivalent in Electrical/Building Services Engineering; industry membership preferred
• Working towards or holding IEng/CEng
• Strong technical competence in LV distribution, lighting, earthing/protection and emergency/standby systems; able to produce calculations and drawings
• Proficient with industry software including Revit, AutoCAD, Dialux, Relux and MS Office
• Experience across a mix of commercial, heritage, and residential projects (or strong experience in at least two of these sectors)
• Able to work independently: deliver an element of a project (Engineer) or lead discipline/small projects and larger schemes (Senior)
• Effective communicator with experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams and liaising with clients/contractors
• Understanding of the additional design constraints involved in working on listed/heritage buildings (desirable, can be trained)
