Location: London – predominantly site-based
Salary: £70,000–£80,000 + company benefits
Employment type: Permanent
We are working with a specialist engineering contractor delivering innovative, sustainable and low-carbon energy systems across the UK.
Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineer to support the design and delivery of heat-network and distributed-energy projects. Based primarily across London sites, you will act as the lead electrical engineer on several live projects while working closely with the wider multidisciplinary engineering team.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious and collaborative business where you will take on meaningful responsibility and contribute throughout the complete project lifecycle—from early-stage concept design through to construction, commissioning and operation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the electrical engineering delivery of heat-network and distributed-energy projects.
- Produce and coordinate concept and detailed electrical designs.
- Support projects through design, procurement, construction and commissioning.
- Work closely with suppliers and subcontractors to ensure the appropriate selection and delivery of equipment.
- Provide technical leadership across multiple live projects.
- Coordinate with mechanical engineers, project managers and other technical disciplines.
- Review project performance and produce clear technical reports.
- Resolve electrical design and site-related technical issues.
- Ensure designs and installations comply with relevant standards, specifications and project requirements.
- Attend project sites throughout London, with occasional travel to other UK locations.
