Healthcare schemes and NHS frameworks

Production of calculations, specifications, drawings, and tender documentation
Coordination with wider MEP and sustainability teams
Client and design team engagement
Site inspections, reporting, and quality assurance
Supporting feasibility studies and technical reports
About You
5+ years' experience in electrical building services design
Strong working knowledge of BS 7671, emergency lighting, and fire alarms
Comfortable in a client-facing role with strong communication skills
Experience delivering projects within a consultancy or contractor environment
Relevant qualification (HNC/HND/Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar)
Competent with AutoCAD and electrical design software
Full UK driving licence
The Business
Well-established consultancy with a strong reputation and long-term client relationships
Diverse project portfolio with no pigeon-holing - engineers are encouraged to be well-rounded
Growing team with continued investment, including a £40k office refurbishment to expand capacity
Collaborative, close-knit environment with engineers working closely together on a daily basis
Salary & Benefits
£45,000 - £55,000 (DOE)
25 days holiday + bank holidays
Private healthcare
Pension scheme
Flexible working hours
Employee Assistance Programme

This is a great opportunity for a well-rounded engineer who wants real ownership, variety in their work, and the chance to be part of a busy, stable consultancy with a strong reputation and consistent workload.
