Location: Manchester (Hybrid)
About the Role
At a multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy based in Manchester—part of a broader national practice—we’re seeking a capable and ambitious Electrical Engineer at either Senior or Principal level. This opportunity offers:
- -authentic variety in schemes, from high-rise residential to healthcare facilities
- Ownership throughout the project life cycle, including concept, strategy, and completion—not just detailed design
- Live net-zero workstreams with financial and commercial growth opportunities

Your role will include everything from defining the brief and designing to budget, to managing schemes of up to £20m.
The Work
Schemes are eclectic and not pigeonholed:
- High-rise residential projects expand your skills
- Healthcare developments, offering a diverse challenge
- The variety is the strength here—you’ll switch between contracts with ease
- True ownership: Say goodbye to pigeonholdings; here, you’ll design and enable, from concept schemes to Stage 4.
- Net-zero projects, with demand for early-stage commercial and financial expertise as the business scales.
- The opportunity for significant projects in a niche market segment within the region.
