Key Responsibilities

As a Graduate Electrical Engineer, you will:

• Support senior engineers throughout all stages of project delivery—from pre-planning and concept design to detailed design, construction, commissioning, and handover.
• Develop and refine electrical design elements including:
  
  • HV/LV distribution systems
  • Power generation and life-safety systems
  • General, emergency, and external lighting
  • IT/data infrastructure
  • Access, security, fire-alarm, and lightning protection systems
• Contribute to low-carbon and sustainable design initiatives, energy consultancy, and pre-design analysis.
• Participate in site activities such as reviewing contractor submissions, witnessing tests, commissioning, snagging, and as-built documentation.
• Apply BIM Level 2 methodologies and CAD tools to coordinate MEP systems, detect clashes, and produce 3D modelling deliverables.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver projects in alignment with RIBA stages 0–7.

Who You Are

• A recent graduate or early-career engineer with a degree in Electrical, Building Services, or a related discipline.
• Curious, proactive, and committed to continuous learning.
• Passionate about sustainable, low-carbon design and delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
• Strong problem-solver who can translate theory into practical applications.

Learning & Development Opportunities

• Mentorship from Chartered engineers with decades of industry experience.
• Exposure to a broad range of sectors: Healthcare, Education, Commercial, Residential, Heritage, Life Sciences, Defence, and more.
• Hands-on experience across the full project lifecycle—concept to completion.
• Opportunity to contribute to low-carbon and sustainable engineering projects.
• Support to achieve professional development goals, including progression toward Chartered Engineer status.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Be part of a values-driven, collaborative team where your contributions directly impact project outcomes.
• Gain early responsibility and real-world experience on exciting and high-profile projects.
• Work in a culture that rewards curiosity, innovation, and personal excellence.
• Build a career where both your personal growth and the success of the business are valued.

This role is perfect for a self-motivated graduate eager to develop into a technically skilled, forward-thinking electrical engineer. If you are ambitious, passionate, and ready to learn from industry experts, this could be your next career step.
