Opportunity to work on innovative, low-carbon energy projects
Strong long-term career progression within a growing businessAn ambitious and fast-growing energy solutions business is looking to appoint a Lead EC&I Engineer to support the delivery of complex industrial energy projects across the UK.
The organisation works with energy-intensive industrial clients to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions through the design, build, and operation of on-site energy systems. Projects typically integrate technologies such as CHP, heat recovery, heat pumps, and solar PV within live manufacturing environments.
This is a hands-on, technically varied role offering involvement across the full project lifecycle—from early-stage design through to commissioning and operational optimisation.
As Lead EC&I Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring control systems and instrumentation are designed, implemented, and commissioned to the highest standards.
You’ll work closely with internal teams and external engineering partners, reviewing designs, shaping control philosophies, and supporting on-site delivery to ensure systems operate safely, reliably, and efficiently.
This role suits a practical, solutions-focused engineer who enjoys both technical design and site-based problem-solving.
