Job description
Senior Electrical Design Engineer - London
Are you an ambitious Intermediate Electrical Engineer ready to step into a Senior role, or an established Senior Engineer seeking a dynamic environment with a variety of projects? If you have a strong background in building services design, coupled with the confidence to manage client relationships and the ability to juggle multiple projects, this could be the perfect next step for your career. This is a role for someone who is adaptable, proactive, and enjoys a challenge beyond pure design work.
Role and Responsibilities
You'll be joining a forward-thinking consultancy that plays a crucial role in delivering key infrastructure and public sector projects. Their work supports vital services, from complete refurbishment of London's fire stations and upgrades for the NHS, to major rail depot projects with Network Rail and renewable energy schemes for local authorities. You will see a huge variety of work, keeping your day-to-day fresh and engaging.
As a Senior Electrical Engineer (or an Intermediate on a clear path to Senior), you will be a key part of our growing electrical team. This is a hybrid role, based in London with the expectation that you will join the team in our Sidcup office at least once a fortnight (ideally weekly) for collaborative sessions and project reviews. Your responsibilities will be varied, covering not only design and survey work but also contract administration and acting as a key point of contact for clients. You will not be stuck on one project for months; instead, you'll manage a portfolio of smaller, fast-paced jobs, giving you fantastic exposure across the industry.
Salary range: A competitive salary of between £45,000 and £60,000 is on offer, which will be dependent on your current level and experience.
Company culture: You will be part of a highly collaborative and supportive team. We believe in the power of getting together, with regular face-to-face meetings designed for sharing technical knowledge, conducting internal quality assurance, and helping each other solve problems. It's a friendly environment where teamwork and professional development are genuinely valued.

·Experience as a high-level Intermediate Electrical Engineer or an established Senior Electrical Engineer.
·Strong background in building services design.
·Excellent client-facing and communication skills.
·Experience with contract administration.
·The ability to manage several fast-paced projects at once.
·Willingness to travel to the Sidcup office for team collaboration days.
If you're ready to move beyond a standard design role and make a tangible impact within a dynamic and growing team, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. To discuss how you can become a key part of this exciting journey, please get in touch with Charlie Weeks at Carrington West.
