Are you looking for the next step in your career where you can take ownership of exciting high-profile projects, lead from the front, and truly influence how things are done? We're working with a market-leading MEP consultancy that has a strong presence in the North West, with offices in both Liverpool and Manchester. Known for their expertise in high-rise residential, commercial office projects, and refurbishment developments, they are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to play a pivotal role in delivering innovative, sustainable, and technically complex projects.

The Opportunity

This isn't just a box-ticking role. This is an opportunity to drive projects from conception to completion, foster junior talent, and become deeply embedded in a culture that values excellence, sustainability, and work-life balance. With a 4-day working week, strong career progression pathways, and a people-first ethos, this consultancy offers an environment where your expertise and leadership are genuinely valued.

Additional Benefits:

* Deliver calculations and ensure compliance with Amtech (or equivalent software).

* Oversee submissions to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) and manage design gateway processes for higher-risk projects.

Sustainable Innovation

* Provide advice and implement sustainable design practices, collaborating closely with the internal sustainability team.

* Focus on low-carbon systems, energy modelling, and building compliance for Part L standards.

Client & Team Engagement

* Represent the consultancy at client meetings, design reviews, and wider project discussions.

* Confidently interface with architects, contractors, and other stakeholders, aligning project visions with deliverables.

* Mentor and develop junior and intermediate engineers, fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented culture within the team.

Project Variety

* Deliver projects spanning high-rise residential and commercial private sector developments.

* Handle end-to-end planning and ensure adherence to deadlines, budgets, and quality standards.

What We're Looking For

Expertise

* You'll be degree qualified with at least 7 years' experience in a building services consultancy environment.

* Extensive background in high-rise residential and commercial projects is essential.

* Strong knowledge of the Building Safety Regulator framework for higher-risk projects.

* Skilled in using electrical calculation software - Amtech preferred.

Mindset & Certifications

* Proficiency in sustainable design practices with emphasis on low-carbon and energy-efficient systems.

* IEng or CEng accreditation, or actively working towards accreditation, is highly desirable.

* A proactive outlook with a passion for mentoring, problem-solving, and driving excellence.

Why Join This Team?

This is a business that understands work-life balance is crucial. Not only do they offer a 4-day working week, but they also provide hybrid working arrangements and flexibility between their Liverpool and Manchester offices. They take a modern approach to consultancy, operating in a flat structure where senior engineers actively shape the work rather than sitting above the process.

If you're a Senior Electrical Engineer looking for a role where you'll lead from the front and help shape the future of building services design, we want to hear from you.
