About the role

Job Title: Electrical Design Engineer (Intermediate – Principal grades)

Location: Bradford, Preston or St Asaph (Hybrid Working)

Salary: £40,000 – £70,000 + benefits

We are currently looking to recruit Electrical Design Engineers at various levels, from Intermediate through to Principal, to support an extensive pipeline of design and build projects across the UK water industry.

The successful candidates will have the opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of clean and wastewater infrastructure schemes, supporting major programmes for some of the UK’s largest water utility providers, including United Utilities, Yorkshire Water, Welsh Water and Severn Trent Water.

These positions offer involvement across the full project lifecycle, from initial design development and feasibility through to detailed engineering, construction support and project delivery. Depending on experience and seniority, you will be responsible for developing electrical design solutions, producing technical documentation and coordinating with multidisciplinary teams. More experienced engineers will also have the opportunity to take ownership of major electrical design packages, provide technical leadership and mentor junior members of the team.

This is an excellent opportunity for electrical engineers with experience in the water sector to work on essential UK infrastructure projects, contribute to major investment programmes and further develop their technical expertise and career.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and deliver electrical infrastructure, including clean and wastewater treatment works
  • Produce detailed drawings, calculations and specifications
  • Undertake site assessments and surveys, and support construction reviews
  • Work with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure design compliance
  • Ensure adherence to BS7671, DSEAR and relevant industry electrical standards
  • Mentor junior engineers and lead electrical packages for more complex schemes (at senior levels)

Requirements:

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or a similar discipline
  • Previous experience on UK water projects (AMP framework knowledge beneficial)
  • Proficient in design software such as AutoCAD Electrical
  • Strong communication and coordination skills
  • Chartered or near-chartered status (IET or equivalent) desirable
