Electrical Engineer / Senior Engineer – Oxford
We have an opportunity for an Electrical Engineer or Senior Engineer to play a key role in delivering high‑quality, sustainable electrical engineering solutions across multiple projects in the built environment.
About the Role
Our Oxford office was established to provide a local presence on our projects, drawing on wide‑ranging expertise from the firm, particularly in complex sectors such as science & research and health‑care. You will own project deliverables, manage elements of the internal delivery team, and liaise with multidisciplinary colleagues, clients and contractors to ensure holistic, compliant and commercially aware solutions. As an Engineer you will typically lead defined elements and smaller projects; as a Senior Engineer you will take full lead responsibility for larger schemes and broader client engagement, and help develop junior staff.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- Ensure quality standards and technical accuracy across deliverables.
- Coordinate electrical design with other disciplines (MEP and specialist groups) and third‑party consultants.
- 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.
Additional Responsibilities for Senior Engineers
- Develop briefs and take responsibility for delivering a small project or the electrical discipline on a significant/complex scheme.
- Exercise considerable autonomy and take ownership for technical decisions and project delivery within cost constraints.
- Delegate, manage and check work undertaken by others; mentor and motivate colleagues across project teams.
- Play an active role in commercial aspects (scope, risk, cost control) and ensure outputs meet project and budgetary requirements.
Qualifications
- Degree or equivalent in Electrical/Building Services Engineering; industry membership preferred.
- Working towards or holding IEng/CEng.
- Strong technical competence in LV distribution, lighting, earthing/protection and emergency/standby systems; able to produce calculations and drawings.
- Proficient with industry software (Revit, AutoCAD, Dialux, OM Electrical) and MS Office.
- Able to work independently: deliver an element of a project (Engineer) or lead discipline/small projects and larger schemes (Senior).
- Effective communicator with experience coordinating multidisciplinary teams and liaising with clients/contractors.
- Experience of site checking, witnessing testing/commissioning and reviewing contractor submissions.
- Demonstrable commitment to meeting programmes and quality standards; commercially aware.
- Supportive team player who mentors junior staff and pursues continuous professional development (Senior expected to supervise; Engineer to support).
