About the Opportunity
Would you like to join an independent, employee-owned Building Services Consultancy where you can have a genuine influence on projects, people and the future direction of the business?
This established consultancy has ambitious but sustainable growth plans and an excellent reputation for delivering technically challenging projects. With a team of approximately 26, they are large enough to deliver significant schemes, yet small enough that your contribution will be visible and genuinely valued.
Role Overview
As a Principal Electrical Engineer, you will take technical ownership of projects from initial feasibility and concept design through detailed design, tender and construction.
Rather than simply managing from a distance, you will remain technically involved whilst developing client relationships and supporting and mentoring Graduate, Junior and Intermediate Engineers.
Projects
Projects are diverse and include:
- Healthcare
- Commercial
- Education
- Defence
- Leisure
- Residential
- Public Sector
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 consultancy has a particularly strong reputation within Healthcare.
Key Responsibilities
- Leading Electrical Building Services designs from concept through to completion.
- Surveys, feasibility studies, option appraisals and lifecycle studies.
- Producing and reviewing calculations, specifications, schedules, drawings and technical reports.
- Leading BIM/Revit coordination and championing ElectricalOM.
- Attending and chairing design, technical, value engineering and risk workshops.
- Tender reviews, contractor recommendations and construction-stage involvement.
- Developing low-energy and low-carbon solutions, including Net Zero, TM54 and TM65 considerations.
- Mentoring and developing less experienced Engineers, including supporting those working towards Chartership.
- Building long-term client relationships and contributing to the continued growth of the consultancy.
Qualifications
You should ideally be a degree-qualified Electrical or Building Services Engineer with good UK Building Services Consultancy experience. Chartered status, or working towards it, would be advantageous but is not essential. More important will be your technical ability, communication skills and confidence dealing directly with Clients.
