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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The team delivers practical, energy-efficient and sustainable engineering solutions across a wide range of sectors, including commercial, education, healthcare, residential, industrial, defence, rail and public buildings.
The consultancy places significant emphasis on technical development, collaboration, sustainability and modern digital design, including BIM and Revit-based delivery.
The Role
As a Junior Electrical Engineer, you will support the wider electrical engineering team in developing building services designs from initial concepts through to detailed design and project delivery.
You will receive support and mentoring from experienced engineers while progressively taking on greater responsibility as your knowledge and confidence develop.
Your Responsibilities May Include
- Supporting the design of electrical building services systems
- Assisting with electrical calculations and technical assessments
- Supporting the design of LV distribution and containment systems
- Assisting with lighting and emergency lighting design
- Supporting small power and electrical services design
- Assisting with fire alarm, data, security and other specialist electrical systems
- Supporting the preparation of technical drawings and documentation
- Developing and maintaining electrical models and drawings using Revit and/or AutoCAD
- Working with engineers and technicians from other disciplines to coordinate building services
- Attending project and design meetings where appropriate
- Carrying out site visits and surveys to develop practical understanding of building services
- Learning and applying relevant British Standards, Building Regulations and industry guidance
- Supporting senior engineers with project delivery and technical documentation

- Good mathematical and technical aptitude
- An eagerness to learn and develop
- Good attention to detail
- The ability to work effectively as part of a team
