About the Role

Our client, a leading provider of mechanical, electrical, and telecommunication solutions for major infrastructure projects, is seeking a highly capable Senior Electrical Engineer to join their growing team.

This role will provide technical leadership, design management, and installation support across complex infrastructure and rail projects. While projects are regionally focused in Gwynedd/Snowdonia and wider UK infrastructure schemes, the successful candidate may be based in London, with a requirement to attend the Central London office three days per week.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior-level engineer who enjoys taking ownership across the full project lifecycle - from concept design through installation and project completion.

• Lead electrical engineering activities from concept and detailed design through to installation, commissioning, and handover.

• Oversee electrical installations, ensuring compliance with design intent and industry standards.

• Ensure full adherence to Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) regulations across all stages of delivery.

• Support project planning, risk assessments, and technical problem-solving on live sites.

• Produce and review detailed electrical design documentation, including:

  • Single-line diagrams and schematics

  • Layout drawings and cable schedules

  • Technical Queries (TQs) and Requests for Information (RFIs)

• Ensure designs comply with relevant UK standards, client specifications, and regulatory requirements.

• Provide technical authority and assurance across assigned projects.

• Manage BIM-compliant drawing production and review.

• Coordinate closely with CAD and BIM teams to ensure design accuracy and clash resolution.

• Resolve technical interface issues between electrical, mechanical, civil, and telecoms disciplines.

• Engage with stakeholders, contractors, and clients to address technical queries and drive solutions.

• Mentor and support junior engineers and design team members.

• Provide technical guidance to project teams.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering standards, processes, and best practices.

• Degree in Electrical Engineering (BEng/MEng) or HNC/HND with substantial relevant experience.

• Proven experience within rail, power, infrastructure, or heavy industrial environments.

• Strong electrical design capability with practical installation knowledge.

• Experience producing and reviewing detailed engineering documentation.

• Working knowledge of BIM processes and multidisciplinary project environments.

• Strong understanding of UK HSE regulations and electrical compliance standards.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.

• Chartered Engineer (CEng) status or working towards chartership.

• Experience working within rail environments or major infrastructure programmes.

• Knowledge of LV/HV systems, substations, or traction power systems.

• Site-based experience within operational or high-risk environments.

• Candidates may be based in Gwynedd/Snowdonia or London.

• London-based candidates must be office-based in Central London three days per week.

• Travel to project sites as required.
