We are recruiting on behalf of a respected multi-disciplinary property and design consultancy based in Derbyshire. The organisation delivers high-quality public sector projects that support local communities, including schools, council buildings, and blue-light facilities. With a strong regional presence and a focus on both maintenance and capital works (typically up to £2 million), they offer a collaborative, flexible, and forward-thinking working environment.

Your new role

As a Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you’ll take a leading role in the design and delivery of electrical systems across a range of public sector buildings. You’ll be responsible for producing detailed layouts and specifications using AutoCAD, Relux, and Dialux, conducting site visits, and managing stakeholder relationships. You’ll also contribute to project planning, mentor junior engineers, and help shape technical standards and design strategies within the team.
The role is hybrid, with approximately 90% of projects based in and around Derbyshire. You’ll be involved in both maintenance and capital works, ensuring designs are compliant, efficient, and tailored to the needs of each client.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Strong experience in electrical design within the building services sector
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Relux, and Dialux
  • In-depth knowledge of UK building regulations and public sector standards
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and mentor junior team members
  • Candidates from an electrical trades background looking to transition into design will also be considered, provided they demonstrate strong technical aptitude and design ambition

What you'll get in return

  • A competitive salary of up to £55,000, depending on experience
  • Hybrid working with flexible hours
  • 23 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Opportunities for professional development, leadership, and career progression
  • A supportive team culture and the chance to work on meaningful public sector projects
