Location: Remote (UK) – with occasional travel to London

Join a Growing MEP Consultancy

We’re working with an established and rapidly growing MEP consultancy that has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality engineering solutions across the UK. Due to continued growth and an expanding project portfolio, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Electrical Design Engineer to join the team.

This is a fully remote position, offering the flexibility to work from anywhere in the UK. However, the successful candidate will need to be commutable to London for client meetings if required.

The Role

As a Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you’ll play a key role in the design and delivery of a diverse range of building services projects, taking responsibility for electrical design from concept through to completion. You’ll work closely with clients, architects, contractors, and multidisciplinary design teams to deliver innovative, efficient, and sustainable engineering solutions.

A significant proportion of the consultancy’s workload involves large-scale residential developments, making previous experience delivering major residential projects essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and deliver electrical building services solutions across all project stages.
• Produce electrical calculations, specifications, reports, and technical drawings.
• Coordinate designs with mechanical engineers, architects, and external consultants.
• Attend client meetings and provide technical expertise throughout project delivery.
• Support and mentor junior engineers where required.
• Ensure designs comply with current UK Building Regulations, British Standards, and industry best practice.
• Contribute to the successful delivery of multiple projects, ensuring quality, programme, and budget targets are achieved.

About You

We’re looking for someone who has:

• Extensive experience as an Electrical Building Services Design Engineer within an MEP consultancy.
• Experience operating at Senior Engineer level.
• Proven experience delivering major residential developments.
• Strong technical knowledge of power, lighting, emergency lighting, fire alarm, data, security, and other building services systems.
• Excellent understanding of UK Building Regulations and relevant British Standards.
• Strong communication and client-facing skills.
• The ability to manage your own workload while collaborating effectively within a remote team.
• The ability to travel to London once or twice a month for meetings and collaboration.

Chartered Engineer status (or working towards it) would be advantageous but is not essential.

What’s on Offer?

• Fully remote working with genuine flexibility.
• Regular collaboration with the team through monthly London meetings.
• Opportunity to work on high-profile residential and mixed-use developments.
• Join an established consultancy with ambitious growth plans.
• Excellent opportunities for career progression and professional development.
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Supportive, collaborative, and technically focused team environment.

If you’re an experienced Senior Electrical Design Engineer looking for a remote opportunity with a growing consultancy where you can work on prestigious residential projects while enjoying genuine flexibility, we’d love to hear from you.
