• Strong interpersonal and communication skills for effective team collaboration and client engagement.
• Professional accreditation (CEng, IEng, or progressing towards accreditation) preferred but not essential.

Day-to-day

• Design and analyze electrical systems (e.g., lighting, power distribution, fire alarms, and renewable energy systems) as part of project deliverables.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate electrical systems with other building services (e.g., mechanical and plumbing).
• Participate in project meetings to discuss progress, technical challenges, and innovative solutions.
• Generate and optimize technical documentation, schematics, calculations, and equipment schedules.
• Conduct site visits to assess project progress and validate design implementation.
• Support the development of junior engineers and promote knowledge sharing within the team.
• Stay updated with the latest technologies and practices within the electrical engineering and MEP industries.

Join us and help shape innovative, sustainable engineering solutions that push the boundaries of design in a forward-thinking, inclusive, and dynamic work environment. Together, we make an impact.
