- Lead electrical building services design across a range of projects.
- Deliver electrical designs from concept and detailed design through to project completion.
- Act as the technical electrical lead on assigned projects.
- Undertake electrical calculations, design specifications, technical reports and drawings.
- Design and coordinate building electrical systems including LV power distribution, lighting, emergency lighting and associated electrical services.
- Apply relevant UK electrical regulations, design standards and industry guidance.
