Senior Electrical Engineer

London

Salary - -50k65k area

An award-winning environmental engineering consultancy based in London is looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineer to join their team - someone with a genuine passion for forward-thinking electrical design and the ambition to work on projects that most engineers simply never get near.

This is not a practice that churns through repetitive work. The firm has built a strong reputation across cultural, heritage, education, and public sector projects, with a portfolio that includes theatres, listed buildings, arts centres, and landmark civic schemes across London and beyond. Work comes largely through long-standing relationships with architects, developers, and project managers who trust the practice to deliver something thoughtful and technically excellent - not just compliant.

Their engineers are multidisciplinary by design. Rather than siloing people into narrow disciplines, the team receives direct training across all aspects of environmental design, giving individuals real breadth of exposure alongside genuine depth in their specialism.

The Role

This position is suited to a Senior Electrical Engineer who is motivated by the work itself - someone who is energised by technically complex, bespoke projects and who sees emerging technologies as an opportunity rather than a footnote. The successful candidate will take ownership of electrical design across a varied portfolio of schemes, working closely with the wider engineering and sustainability team.

Key areas of focus will include:

• Electrical building services design across cultural, heritage, education, and public sector projects
• Battery storage systems, photovoltaics, and low-carbon electrical technologies
• Design delivery from early concept through to technical completion and site inspection
• Engaging directly with architects, clients, and project teams as a trusted technical point of contact
• Contributing to the practice''s wider sustainability and environmental design approach

About You

• Around 5 years'' experience in electrical building services design within a consultancy environment
• A genuine interest in emerging electrical technologies - particularly batteries, photovoltaics, and future-focused systems
• Drawn to complex, technically interesting projects - theatres, listed buildings, cultural venues - rather than high-volume repetitive work
• The ability to work independently and take considered ownership of design delivery
• Attitude and curiosity are as important here as technical experience - this is a practice that hires for mindset as much as skillset
• Experience in heritage or conservation projects is a plus, though not essential

The Business

• Award-winning environmental engineering consultancy with offices in London and Bristol
• Portfolio spanning cultural, heritage, education, conservation, and residential sectors
• Multidisciplinary team structure - engineers trained across all aspects of environmental design
• Recognised as a top 50 employer in Building magazine''s Good Employer Guide
• Competitive salary with annual performance bonus
• BUPA health cover, life insurance, and critical illness cover
• 4-5% pension match
• Cycle to work scheme, on-site showers and storage
• A collaborative, creative working environment - central London offices with good transport links

This is the kind of role that suits an engineer who wants their work to mean something - where the next project might be a West End theatre, a Grade I listed institution, or an innovative new cultural space, and where the technical challenge is always real.
