Electrical Engineer, Senior or Principal
Manchester, Hybrid
A multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy, Manchester studio, part of a national practice
I’m working with a growing, well-regarded engineering consultancy to find a strong electrical engineer for their Manchester 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.
Background & tools
Consultancy background is easiest, but contractor / D&B design is genuinely welcome if you can think upstream too.
Spec writing (MBS Chorus), lighting (Relux / Dialux), cable calcs (ElecoM / Amtech). Revit a plus, not essential.
