Intermediate Electrical Design Engineer : Office Attendance Only Once Every 4–6 Weeks
Your new company
You will be joining a well‑established, national construction consultancy, founded in the early 1960s, with a strong reputation across Project Management, Cost Consultancy, MEP Engineering and Sustainability.
The business prides itself on hands‑on Director involvement on every project, creating clear accountability, strong client relationships and consistently high standards. This approach has resulted in an exceptionally high repeat business rate of around 85%.
The consultancy operates within a wider group following a recent strategic partnership, expanding its service offering to include Project Monitoring and Building Surveying, and supporting continued, sustainable growth.
One of the biggest differentiators is the working culture: the business operates a genuinely flexible, trust‑based model, with engineers primarily working from home and attending the office only once every 4–6 weeks on average.
Your new role
As an Intermediate Electrical Design Engineer, you will support the delivery of electrical building services designs across a varied national project portfolio.
You will work closely with Senior Engineers and Directors, contributing to schemes from early concept through to detailed design and construction, gaining exposure to the full project lifecycle.
Projects include large‑scale leisure and destination developments, alongside commercial, mixed‑use and public‑sector work, offering technically engaging and often repeat‑client schemes rather than one‑off projects.
This role suits an engineer ready to take ownership of their work while continuing to develop technically within a supportive, low‑bureaucracy consultancy environment.
What you'll need to succeed
Experience working as an Electrical Design Engineer within a building services consultancy
A solid understanding of building services electrical design
Knowledge of relevant British Standards, regulations and best practice
Ability to work autonomously in a remote‑first environment while collaborating with a wider team
Strong communication skills and a professional approach with clients and project teams
Working towards, or keen to work towards, Chartered status (CIBSE / IET)
What you'll get in return
Salary up to circa £55,000, depending on experience
Predominantly remote working — office attendance typically once every 4–6 weeks
A flexible, trust‑based working culture focused on output, not presenteeism
Direct access to Directors and senior decision‑makers
Exposure to high‑quality, technically interesting, repeat‑client projects
Long‑term stability within a respected and growing consultancy
