Senior Electrical Engineer - Clear Progression to Leadership

Location - Birmingham

Salary - Up to £65k

An independently owned building services consultancy is seeking a driven Senior Electrical Engineer to join its Birmingham-based MEP team. This is a strategic hire with a clear pathway to becoming the Director's "right-hand" and progressing through Principal, Associate, Associate Director and ultimately Partner level over the next 5-10 years.

About the Practice

The consultancy has been established for over two decades, the MEP group currently sits at around six engineers and delivers projects across:

Commercial & Industrial

Government & public sector

Healthcare

Work spans London (65-75%), Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Midlands.

Most schemes involve existing buildings, so regular site presence is expected. Projects are typically developed to Stage 4 detailed design, with Stage 4A and beyond undertaken by contractors.

The Opportunity

This role is aimed at a senior engineer with strong technical delivery skills and genuine commercial awareness. You'll take ownership of detailed electrical design, lead projects, engage directly with clients and gradually support proposals and account management alongside the Director.

You'll be encouraged to integrate into the business, influence its future direction and eventually step into a senior leadership role. The practice places heavy emphasis on professional development, supporting Chartership and further accreditations.

What You'll Be Doing

Leading detailed design of electrical building services, including mains distribution, renewables, lighting, life-safety systems and integration with mechanical services.

Undertaking electrical surveys, feasibility studies and reporting on existing systems.

Working closely with clients, design teams, suppliers and contractors.

Managing technical and financial success of projects.

Preparing calculations, design proposals, tender packages and clear written reports.

Supporting site supervision, commissioning witnessing and maintenance-related audits.

Representing the business professionally in meetings and client interactions.

What We're Looking For

Strong experience (typically 5+ years) in electrical building services design within a consultancy environment.

Competence in detailed design for commercial/industrial/government/healthcare sectors.

Comfortable with site work and existing building assessments.

Commercially minded, confident with client interaction and keen to contribute to proposals.

Good knowledge of design software (Amtech), and familiarity with AutoCAD/Revit/BIM.

Someone who wants to be in the office, collaborate closely with the team and actively drive projects forward.

Ambition to progress to leadership - not just a "delivery-only" engineer.

Salary & Benefits

Strong professional development support (including Chartership)

Clear, structured progression into senior leadership

Opportunity to work directly with Directors on major clients and accounts
