About the Job

We are seeking a motivated Electrical Project Engineer with 2–5 years of experience in building services design to join our Engineering Studio — a collaborative pool of engineers supporting multiple projects across the business. The Engineering Studio sits at the heart of our technical delivery, providing expertise across data centres, industrial, energy, pharmaceutical, and commercial sectors.

As a Project Engineer, you’ll play a key technical role in electrical system design, coordination, and project delivery.

Responsibilities:

  • Deliver defined electrical design packages under the supervision of Senior Engineers or Project Leads.
  • Support the design of power distribution, lighting, fire alarm, ICT, and low-voltage systems from concept through detailed design and construction documentation.
  • Perform load calculations, cable sizing, fault level assessments, and lighting designs using appropriate software tools.
  • Assist in preparing schematics, single-line diagrams, and detailed layouts for electrical systems.
  • Contribute to the development of tender documentation, specifications, and technical reports.
  • Ensure design outputs meet CIBSE, IEC, BS, IS, and EN standards, as well as client and project-specific requirements.
  • Participate in QA/QC reviews, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and compliance with internal standards.
  • Liaise with contractors, suppliers, and vendors to address technical queries and coordinate site interfaces.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, structural, and sustainability teams to deliver coordinated multidisciplinary designs.
  • Maintain project documentation and ensure all deliverables meet agreed deadlines and quality benchmarks.
  • Support internal coordination meetings, share learnings across the Engineering Studio, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Take responsibility for smaller system packages (e.g. small power or emergency lighting), with technical mentoring from senior engineers.
