Your new company

You will be joining a well‑established, national construction consultancy, founded in the early 1960s, with a strong reputation across Project Management, Cost Consultancy, MEP Engineering and Sustainability.

The business prides itself on hands‑on Director involvement on every project, creating clear accountability, strong client relationships and consistently high standards. This has resulted in an exceptionally high repeat business rate of around 85%.

Following a recent strategic partnership, the consultancy has expanded its service offering to include Project Monitoring and Building Surveying, supporting continued and sustainable growth.

A key differentiator is the working culture: a genuinely flexible, trust‑based model where engineers predominantly work from home, with office attendance typically no more than once per week.

Your new role

As a Junior to Intermediate Electrical Design Engineer, you will support the delivery of electrical building services designs across a varied national project portfolio.

Working closely with Senior Engineers and Directors, you will gain exposure to the full project lifecycle — from early concept design through to detailed design and construction.

Projects span large‑scale leisure and destination developments, as well as commercial, mixed‑use and public‑sector work, with a strong emphasis on long‑term, repeat‑client relationships.

Key responsibilities:

• Assist in the production of electrical building services designs
• Support calculations, layouts, schematics and technical documentation
• Develop knowledge of relevant British Standards and design practices
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across projects
• Contribute to project delivery while developing technical capability
• Build confidence in client and stakeholder interaction

This role is ideal for someone looking to progress within a supportive consultancy environment with clear career development opportunities.

What you'll need to succeed

• Experience as an Electrical Design Engineer within a building services consultancy
• Understanding of core electrical building services design principles
• Familiarity with British Standards and regulations
• Strong willingness to learn and develop technically
• Good communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Ability to work effectively in a remote‑first environment

What you'll get in return

• Salary up to 50,000 depending on experience
• Predominantly remote working (office at most once per week)
• A flexible, trust‑based working culture focused on output
• Direct access to Directors and senior engineers
• Exposure to high‑quality, technically interesting projects
• Clear progression into senior roles
