PRINCIPAL ELECTRICAL ENGINEER READY FOR THE NEXT STEP?
Manchester Hybrid Competitive Salary
If you're a Senior/Principal Electrical Engineer who has reached the point where you want more influence, more ownership and a team of your own, this could be one worth having a conversation about.
We're representing a leading multidisciplinary engineering consultancy that is looking to appoint a Principal Electrical Engineer to lead a team of around 3-4 engineers/designers and take technical ownership of a portfolio of high-profile projects.
This isn't a role where you'll simply be reviewing drawings and attending meetings.
You'll be doing the good stuff:
- Lead and develop a team of 3-4 Electrical Engineers & Designers
- Take technical ownership of major projects
- Lead electrical design from RIBA 1-7
- Be the senior technical voice with clients
- Influence design strategy and engineering solutions
- Coordinate with Mechanical, Structural & Architectural teams
- Mentor and develop the next generation of engineers
- Support bids, tenders and business development
- Help shape the continued growth of the electrical team
Reasons to use Rodeo
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 Projects? Think complex, technically challenging schemes rather than repetitive work.
Sectors include:
- Healthcare
- Data Centres / Mission Critical
- Commercial & Workplace
- Education
- Residential & High-Rise
- Industrial & Manufacturing
- Public Sector
Who are we looking for? You could currently be a:
- Senior Electrical Engineer looking for that first Principal opportunity
- Principal/Associate Engineer ready for a bigger platform.
You'll need strong UK Building Services experience, excellent electrical design knowledge and, importantly, the ability to lead people as well as projects.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
CEng / MCIBSE would be advantageous, alongside experience with Revit, AutoCAD and electrical calculation/design software.
Why this role? Because you're not just being brought in to fill a seat.
You'll have the opportunity to build a team, influence projects, develop clients and have a genuine say in how the electrical discipline moves forward.
If you're open to hearing what's out there even if you're not actively looking drop me a message.
All conversations are completely confidential.
