Field Electrical Project Manager – MEICA Water Projects (Yorkshire) – 20299

It's a varied role combining technical understanding with hands-on project leadership.

You'll oversee day-to-day delivery across multiple water and wastewater sites, coordinate people and resources, work directly with clients and ensure projects remain safe, compliant and on track.

Crucially, you're not joining a finished department.

As the first engineer within this new delivery team, you'll have the opportunity to influence processes, technical standards and ways of working from the outset, with excellent scope to grow into a more senior engineering or project leadership position as the team expands.

Where You'll Make an Impact

Lead Successful MEICA Delivery

• Oversee day-to-day MEICA project delivery across multiple water and wastewater sites.
• Coordinate project resources, site teams, subcontractors and materials to keep works moving safely and efficiently.
• Monitor programmes, budgets, variations, risks and changing resource requirements.

Ensure Technical Excellence

• Review electrical and mechanical drawings, work packs and RAMS for buildability, feasibility and alignment with project scope.
• Work closely with the Design Manager to resolve technical queries and maintain compliant delivery.
• Oversee isolations, energisation and reinstatement, ensuring works meet WIMES and client-specific standards.

Keep Clients and Projects Aligned

• Attend Client Progress Team meetings and build strong relationships with clients, stakeholders and commercial leads.
• Provide clear progress updates, proactively highlighting risks, programme changes and delivery challenges.
• Maintain accurate permits, inspection records, redlines, site documentation and as-built information.

Deliver Safely Through to Handover

• Support inspection, testing, commissioning and successful project handover.
• Champion exceptional health, safety, environmental and quality standards across every site.
• Lead by example through audits, toolbox talks and continuous improvement initiatives.

About You

You'll bring a strong electrical engineering background, ideally developed within MEICA, EICA, water, wastewater or a similarly complex engineering environment.

You'll bring:

• Strong electrical engineering and project delivery experience.
• Ideally, experience within MEICA / EICA environments.
• Good working knowledge of mechanical equipment and its interface with electrical and ICA systems.
• Experience with LV systems, MCCs, ICA equipment, pumps, valves and process assets.
• The ability to interpret engineering drawings and ensure works are delivered to specification.
• Working knowledge of CDM regulations, permits, temporary works and construction site procedures.
• Confidence coordinating teams, subcontractors and resources across live projects.
• Strong communication and practical problem-solving skills.
• The ability to build credible relationships with clients, operational teams and technical stakeholders.
• A proactive approach to safety, quality and continuous improvement.
• Full UK driving licence.
