Electrical Design Engineer

Electrical Engineer, Senior or Principal

Edinburgh, Hybrid

A multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy, Edinburgh studio, part of a national practice

I'm working with a growing, well-regarded engineering consultancy to find a strong electrical engineer for their Edinburgh studio, Senior or Principal, depending on where you're at.

Genuine variety, real ownership from concept (not just Stage 4), schemes up to £20m, and a tight, sociable team that trusts people to get on with it.

The work

• High-rise resi one week, healthcare the next, they don't pigeonhole. The variety is the point.
• Schemes up to £20m, a meaty portfolio for this part of the market.
• Own the whole scheme: concept, strategy, briefs, designing to budget, not just the detailed design.
• Live net-zero workstreams, with the commercial and financial side opening up as you grow.

Who they're after

• A self-starter, trusted to crack on, not checked in on every couple of hours.
• Someone who thinks for themselves and can jump between project types.
• Happy owning a brief from concept to delivery.
• Commercially aware (nice to have), conscious of time and budget.
• Looking for a long-term home, not a stop-off.

Level

Open on level,tell me where you're at:

• Senior ~2 years+ building-services electrical design, ready to step up onto bigger schemes. Working towards chartership a plus.
• Principal, leading schemes end to end, ready for management and client-facing responsibility. Chartered or close a plus.

Consultancy background is easiest, but contractor / D&B design is genuinely welcome if you can think upstream too.
