Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland. Itâs not every job that can make a difference to the people of Scotland. At Scottish Water our work keeps Scotlandâs water flowing cleanly and sustainably, from reservoir to tap and sewer to sea. Weâre looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Technical Support and Assurance Team. If youâre passionate about engineering, sustainability, and making a difference, this could be the perfect next step in your career. What youâll be doing Youâll be part of a friendly, multi-disciplinary teamthat provides technical support and assurance for capital investment projects, evaluating technical risk, ensuring compliance with current standards and specifications, and sharing knowledge and best practice across the organisation. Youâll work closely with project teams, consultants, contractors, and the wider water industry to help to shape solutions that benefit communities across Scotland. Youâll champion safety and standardisation in design by reviewing proposals that balance cost, carbon impact, safety, and risk. Youâll also contribute to our design library and help shape future engineering standards. Youâll support the development of new processes and technologies, while coaching and mentoring others, as well as being able to develop professionally with plenty of CPD opportunities. What youâll bring Weâre looking for someone with a degree in Electrical Engineering, either Chartered or working towards it. Youâll need a qualification in BS 7671 - 18th Edition and experience in water and wastewater design and construction. It would be great if youâre familiar with WIMES, design management, or have experience in ICA instrumentation, Control and Automation. Experience with assessing load schedules, block cable diagrams, and single line diagrams is also highly valued. You should have a methodical approach to problem-solving and risk management, along with great communication skills and a collaborative mindset. A valid driving licence and willingness to travel across Scotland is preferred. Looking out for you While the work we do is important, we know itâs not the only thing that matters. Thatâs why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance. Youâll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take time off to volunteer in your community. When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working. For your future, thereâs our pension (the âknow-what-youâll-get-when-you-retireâ kind), and life assurance. As for some nice extras? You can expect an annual company bonus. Not to mention access to SW Splash â handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping. The not-so-small print This role will be a Grade 7. If youâre new to Scottish Water, youâll join us on a starting salary of £44,030. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £55,000. If youâre interested in this role â or know someone else who might be - weâll be accepting applications until 6th October 2025. Job offers at Scottish Water are conditional, and will be confirmed on completion of our pre-employment screening, e.g. referencing, criminal record checks, license checks, etc. These checks are conducted on our behalf by a third party. Donât worry - weâll ask your permission before starting these checks. A few final things worth knowing⦠ Research shows that some people avoid applying for jobs unless they can meet every single criteria. If youâre interested in this job, but donât tick all the boxes, apply anyway! We hardly ever hire people who can do every part of a job from Day One. Everyone has a learning curve. So donât rule yourself out!  Let us know if there are any changes we can make to our recruitment process to help you perform at your best. Lots of our people have disabilities or neurodiverse conditions (including some of our recruiters!). We're also aware that some people might be experiencing temporary challenges because of life events, like menopause. Weâre very used to making adjustments, so please donât be afraid to ask.  As part of our commitment to developing a flourishing Scotland, itâs important that all our employees are Scottish taxpayers. If you join us, your home address will need to be in Scotland. If you donât already live here, you'll need to commit to moving here within your first three months.  Finally (finally!), candidates who havenât submitted an application in the last 12 months will have their records removed from our recruitment database. You wonât need to do anything. Your data will be automatically deleted. Weâre here to help. Ask us anything at SWRecruitment@ScottishWater.co.uk Â
