Electrical Design Engineer - To £60K Package
Working closely with the two Chartered, Electrical Associates you'll benefit from working on a diverse range of projects from concept to construction.
Although they are a small to medium sized Building Services Consultancy, most of their employees (including the Directors) have come from much larger practices such as Arup, Mott McDonald, Waterman, and WSP.
Why is this relevant to me you might ask?
It's relevant because it means they are still able to secure the large scale and iconic projects, and the Directors understand and value the importance of providing good training and mentoring to all employees.
As an Electrical Design Engineer, here you'll get involved in projects such as hospitals, commercial offices, listed buildings, MoD training grounds, luxury hotels and residential developments across London.
You'll enjoy working as part of a close knit, supportive and friendly team of engineers who socialise weekly, and attend a monthly catch-up breakfast at the end of each month. They also go away together every year for a long weekend overseas and genuinely care about the mental health, well-being, and professional development of every employee.
They also recognise and reward hard work and provide two yearly bonuses to acknowledge their employees, as well as all the standard benefits such as 25 days leave, pension, hybrid working, payment of professional memberships and the opportunity to undertake a MSc or further training.
Their business model is built on quality, care, and innovation, and as a result they continue to secure virtually all their work via recommendations or repeat business. All Directors remain actively involved on projects from concept to handover and take a personal interest in ensuring they are attracting, developing, and retaining the rising stars within the business.
Given the nature of the role, it's likely that you are Degree qualified, have at least three years' experience in Building Services and are working towards or are least have the aspiration of becoming a Chartered Engineer. You should be able to design and deliver a project from feasibility through to post occupancy with constant supervision and should take pride in the work you produce.
Overall, a rare opportunity to join a solid, Engineering led business and be instrumental in its future direction and success.
