Salary: DOE – c. £55,000

Valoris Group is working with a well-established building services consultancy to recruit a Senior / Principal Electrical Engineer to support the refurbishment, upgrade, and decarbonisation of existing buildings across the public and commercial sectors.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced, hands-on electrical engineer who enjoys client interaction, site involvement, and leading projects from early feasibility through detailed design and construction.

The role

You will play a key role in delivering high-quality electrical engineering services across a diverse portfolio of existing buildings, many of which are occupied and subject to complex regulatory requirements. The position offers a strong blend of technical design, site-based delivery, and client engagement.

Key responsibilities

  • Deliver electrical design across all core building services systems, including power, lighting, fire alarm, access control, security, CCTV, and renewable energy systems.
  • Work primarily on existing buildings, including projects within both non-HRB and HRB approval regimes.
  • Undertake condition surveys, asset assessments, and lifecycle costing exercises.
  • Produce feasibility studies, technical reports, specifications, drawings, and calculations.
  • Liaise closely with clients, contractors, and other project stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Act as Contract Administrator, including managing valuations, contractor performance, and change control.
  • Apply sound knowledge of contract management, particularly JCT forms of contract.
  • Carry out regular site inspections, oversee commissioning, and support issue resolution during construction.
  • Collaborate with mechanical engineers, project managers, architects, sustainability consultants, and quantity surveyors.
  • Mentor and support junior engineers, contributing to team development and technical excellence.

About you

Qualifications

  • Degree or equivalent qualification in Building Services Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Actively working towards Chartered status (IET or CIBSE preferred).

Experience

  • Proven experience delivering electrical design and leading projects within existing buildings.
  • Background in social housing and wider public sector environments, such as education, healthcare, and commercial buildings.
  • Experience contributing to procurement and tender documentation for public or private sector projects.
  • Familiarity with maintenance contracts, lifecycle planning, and asset management strategies.
  • Experience undertaking asset data collection and on-site surveys to support compliance and investment planning.
  • Understanding of construction risk management across all project stages.
  • Experience reporting project, resource, and financial information to senior management.

Technical knowledge & skills

  • Strong knowledge of electrical building services systems, including lighting, power, fire alarm, access control, CCTV, and controls.
  • Good working knowledge of UK Building Regulations, British Standards, CIBSE guidance, BREEAM, and sustainability frameworks.
  • Understanding of energy efficiency, decarbonisation, and low/zero carbon technologies.
  • Proficient in AutoCAD and Microsoft Office; familiarity with Revit and Trimble / Amtech is advantageous.
  • Confident communicator with the ability to lead meetings and explain technical matters clearly.
  • Well-organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities.

Whats on offer

  • Salary DOE, circa £55,000
