Job Description

The Opportunity

We are working exclusively with a forward-thinking, independent MEP consultancy that is delivering low-carbon and innovative building services solutions across a diverse range of sectors. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious electrical engineer to step into a senior or principal-level role within a growing consultancy where your voice will genuinely be heard and your impact felt across the business.

Our client operates across Heritage, Commercial, Residential, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Care, Defence, and Education sectors — offering you the breadth of project exposure that larger consultancies often can't match, combined with the collaborative, agile culture of a specialist firm.

The Role

You'll work alongside mechanical and public health colleagues in a multidisciplinary environment, contributing to the consultancy's reputation for delivering genuinely sustainable, low-carbon outcomes for clients.

Day to day, you'll be responsible for leading electrical design packages, managing project deliverables, and mentoring junior members of the team. At principal level, there is also an expectation to contribute to business development, client relationships, and the wider technical strategy of the practice.

Why Apply?

This is a rare chance to join a specialist consultancy that is genuinely invested in sustainable, low-carbon building services design — not just as a marketing message, but as a core part of how they work. You'll have the autonomy to make real design decisions, the variety of working across multiple sectors, and the opportunity to grow with a business that values its people.
