Job Description:

Your new company
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Electrical Design Engineer to join the Building Services team of a leading multidisciplinary engineering consultancy in Belfast on an initial c.9-month contract. Due to the continued success of the business and a growing pipeline of newly secured projects, the team is looking to appoint an additional Electrical Engineer to provide increased design capacity across a varied portfolio of projects. The opportunity is open to engineers from Intermediate level upwards, with the salary offered reflecting individual experience.

Your new role
This position is being recruited on an initial c.9-month contract to support the team following the successful award of a number of new projects and the continued growth of its project pipeline. Rather than being a short-term cover requirement, the appointment represents an opportunity to become part of an established Building Services team working across a strong programme of secured work. The position could suit an established contractor, an engineer between permanent roles, or someone interested in experiencing a leading multidisciplinary consultancy environment on a contract basis. You will work across a diverse portfolio of Education, Defence and Healthcare projects, ranging from large-scale capital schemes through to smaller works delivered under government frameworks.

Responsibilities will include:

• Electrical building services design across a range of projects
• Preparation of design calculations, specifications, drawings and technical documentation
• Supporting projects through the various stages of design and delivery
• Working closely with Mechanical Engineers and other members of multidisciplinary project teams
• Liaising with clients, contractors and other project stakeholders
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant technical standards and client requirements
• Managing your own workload across multiple projects
• Providing technical input and support throughout project delivery

What you'll need to succeed
Applications are welcomed from Intermediate, Senior and experienced Electrical Building Services Engineers.
Ideally, you will have:

• A degree, HND/HNC or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering or a closely related discipline
• Previous experience in Electrical Building Services design
• Experience within an engineering consultancy, M&E or multidisciplinary design environment
• Good technical knowledge of electrical building services systems
• Experience producing electrical designs, calculations, specifications and associated technical documentation
• A working knowledge of relevant electrical and Building Services standards, including BS 7671 / IET Wiring Regulations
• Experience using relevant design software such as Amtech/Trimble ProDesign, AutoCAD, Revit or Dialux would be advantageous
• Experience across Education, Healthcare, Defence or other public sector projects would be beneficial
• Ability to manage your own design workload and work effectively within multidisciplinary project teams

What you'll get in return
£50,000 - £60,000 pro rata, dependent on experience

Initial c.9-month contract

37.5 hours per week

Hybrid working - 3 days per week in the Belfast office

26 days annual leave + bank holidays

Open to Intermediate level engineers and above

Excellent portfolio of Education, Defence and Healthcare projects

Mix of major capital projects and smaller government framework schemes
If you are an experienced Electrical Building Services Engineer who is immediately available, coming to the end of an existing contract or considering a move into contract work, this is an excellent opportunity to join a busy consultancy with a strong pipeline of secured projects.
