Description:
Senior Electrical Engineer | Kent | Consultancy
Up to £65k
A lot of electrical engineers in consultancy spend their time on concept and feasibility work and rarely see the detailed design through. This role is the opposite. It's with a growing MEP consultancy whose Kent office focuses on the technical end of the process, producing RIBA Stage 4 detailed design and construction-level information through to commissioning, much of it for mechanical and electrical contractors.
The business has three offices across the South East and East of England, with Kent as its original and busiest office. Each office runs as its own business, but projects and people move freely between them, and the client base is loyal, with around 90% of clients returning and most work won through negotiation rather than tender. The Kent team is now looking for a Senior or Intermediate-Senior Electrical Engineer.
The Role
Delivering electrical design mainly at RIBA Stages 4 to 6, from detailed technical design through construction information to commissioning
Covering power distribution and switchgear, lighting and controls, lightning protection, fire alarm and detection, access control, security and CCTV, and AV
Working across education, residential, commercial, industrial and a growing healthcare portfolio
Collaborating closely with mechanical and public health engineers and in-house Revit technicians in one coordinated MEP model
Focusing on design delivery. Winning new work isn't expected at this levelAbout You
An Intermediate-Senior or Senior Electrical Design Engineer from a consultancy or design and build background
Genuinely confident producing Stage 4 detailed design. This is the key requirement, and contractor-side experience isn't essential
Technically strong, with a solid working knowledge of the relevant British Standards, RIBA stages and BSRIA BG6. You won't need to quote clauses, but you'll know where to look
Revit skills are a bonus rather than essential. If you want to learn, you'll get the licence, hardware and support to do so
Happy working mainly in the office. Home working is available on request, but the team works best together in personThe Business
A salary at the upper end of the market, depending on experience
Private healthcare, bonuses and further benefits in the pipeline
Proactive progression. Pay rises and promotions are identified and awarded without you having to ask
Modern, well-equipped offices with serious investment in IT and hardware
A professionally accredited, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified business with strong repeat clients and a steady pipelineIf you're an electrical engineer who wants to spend your time on detailed design that actually gets built, drop me a message for a confidential chat.
