Senior EC&I Engineer | North West (Hybrid Working) | up to £58ph | 4 day working week | Outside IR35
The Opportunity
Are you at the point where you want more influence over engineering decisions, not just another delivery or design-only contract?
This is a senior EC&I contract working on complex, safety-critical programmes within highly regulated environments such as defence and nuclear. The role operates at consultant level, giving real influence over technical decisions rather than being limited to a pure design function. You’ll have ownership across the full lifecycle — providing technical leadership, assurance, integration support and problem‑solving through delivery — on an Outside IR35 basis with hybrid working and long‑term programme stability.
It’s an opportunity to shape standards and outcomes, working closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams, rather than just executing instructions.
What we’re looking for:
- Strong background in EC&I, control systems or instrumentation engineering
- Experience working in regulated or safety‑critical environments (e.g. nuclear, defence, petrochemical, power)
- Chartered Engineer status (CEng) or actively working toward chartership
- Exposure to functional safety standards (SIL, IEC 61508/61511 or similar)
- Comfortable operating at senior/consultant level, challenging designs and influencing outcomes
- UK‑based and eligible for security clearance
Location: North West / Client comfortable with hybrid Working
We are an equal opportunities employer and will treat everyone equally irrespective of any characteristic, ensuring no unlawful or undesirable discrimination.
