Associate Electrical Engineer
Building Services Design
Manchester city centre & Hybrid working
£65,000–£80,000 + Benefits
What if your next move was about more than just another promotion?
Some consultancies are built around hierarchy, bigger teams and simply moving people through the next job title.
This opportunity is a little different.
You'll be joining an established multidisciplinary consultancy with a growing Manchester M&E team and an increasing pipeline of work, particularly across the healthcare sector.
The team is looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer who can take ownership of projects, provide technical leadership and help support the development of more junior engineers.
Why This One?
- The Manchester M&E team currently has around eight people, including a Technical Director, Associate, Principal and Senior Engineers.
- You'll be joining at an exciting point for the team, with increased demand for senior electrical expertise and plenty of work already secured.
- The project portfolio is predominantly healthcare, alongside a mixture of residential and commercial projects.
- There's also the opportunity to support other teams across the wider business with your electrical expertise.
- You'll be leading projects and guiding engineers around you, but importantly, you won't initially be tied down with formal line management responsibilities.
- The focus is on what you do best, technical delivery, project leadership and developing the people around you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Could This Be You?
We're looking for an Electrical Building Services Engineer with strong consultancy experience who's ready to take on greater responsibility.
You'll need solid technical knowledge, experience leading projects and the confidence to provide guidance to more junior engineers.

If you're operating at Principal level, they're also open to speaking with you if you're looking for a new challenge.
