Location:
London, UK (Head Office / European project reach)
Join a rapidly growing engineering consultancy shaping the future of mission-critical infrastructure.
Our client is a specialist engineering consultancy delivering advanced Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health (MEP) design for high-density, high-reliability environments.
They offer deep technical capability in areas such as electrical network analysis, computational modelling, and full BIM-coordinated design, supporting major hyperscale and colocation data-centre projects across Europe and the Middle East.
As they continue to scale, they are seeking a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to play a key role in delivering complex electrical design packages, supporting project leadership, and contributing to the successful execution of mission-critical projects.
About the Role
The Senior Electrical Design Engineer will be responsible for delivering high-quality electrical design across multiple projects, supporting Principal Engineers in technical delivery and coordination.
You will take ownership of key design elements, contribute to project planning, and work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure integrated and efficient engineering solutions.
This role requires strong technical capability, project experience, and the ability to operate independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment.
Key Responsibilities
Deliver electrical design packages across mission-critical and data-centre projects. Develop electrical distribution systems including power, lighting, UPS, and standby generation. Produce detailed engineering calculations, schematics, specifications, and reports. Coordinate with mechanical, BIM, and sustainability teams to deliver integrated solutions. Support project planning, timelines, and deliverables in collaboration with senior stakeholders. Attend client meetings and design workshops, supporting technical discussions. Review junior engineers’ work and provide technical guidance where required. Assist with site inspections and respond to technical queries during construction phases. Ensure compliance with relevant standards, codes, and best practices.
Qualifications & Experience
Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline); working towards Chartership preferred. Typically 6–10 years’ experience in electrical building services design. Experience within mission-critical, data-centre, or complex infrastructure environments is highly desirable. Strong understanding of LV systems, UPS, generators, and electrical coordination. Experience across multiple project stages including detailed design and construction support. Ability to manage workloads and contribute to project delivery independently. Strong communication and coordination skills.
Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity to take on a senior technical role within a high-performing consultancy, working on complex and high-profile data-centre projects. You will gain exposure to cutting-edge engineering challenges while progressing towards technical leadership.
