About the Role:
We are looking for an Electrical Engineer to join our team delivering commercial, heritage, and residential building services projects.

In this key and varied role, you can expect to:
- Take briefs and deliver electrical design work from inception through to completion
- Produce electrical calculations, drawings and technical documentation that comply with relevant regulations, design guides, and client standards
- Carry out lighting design and calculations using Dialux and/or Relux, balancing compliance, energy efficiency, and — on heritage projects — conservation sensitivity
- Ensure quality standards and technical accuracy across deliverables
- Coordinate electrical design with other disciplines (mechanical, structural, architectural)
- Review and comment on technical information provided by contractors and sub-contractors; check site installations against the design intent
- Attend and report at design team meetings, client meetings, and project meetings
- Witness selected testing and commissioning activities and support handover documentation
- Manage own workload to meet programme deliverables and report progress to your line manager
- Contribute to the professional development of junior colleagues
