Job Title: Senior Electrical & Controls (E&I) Engineer
Position Overview
My client is supporting a pharmaceutical manufacturing client who requires a senior, hands-on Electrical & Controls (E&I) Engineer to actively support on-site construction activities. This is a delivery-focused role, ideal for someone who can “get stuck in” on the ground, work closely with contractors, and ensure electrical/control installations are completed safely, to spec, and ready for commissioning in a GMP environment.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide site-based electrical & controls engineering support during construction and installation phases.
* Oversee and coordinate contractors delivering electrical power and control/instrumentation scope (LV distribution, panels, cabling, containment, instrument installation, etc.).
* Perform field engineering: resolve clashes/queries, manage technical decisions, and support RFIs, redlines, and as-built updates.
* Support installation and quality checks including walkdowns, punch lists, and verification that installations meet drawings/specs/standards.
* Interface with project engineering, automation, CQV/commissioning, and construction management to keep work progressing.
* Ensure compliance with GMP expectations, site standards, and EHS requirements.
* Support early commissioning readiness activities: loop checks, I/O checks, panel inspections, and coordination of FAT/SAT actions where relevant.
* Maintain accurate documentation (installation records, test evidence, commissioning check sheets) and contribute to handover packs.
Requirements
* Strong background as a Senior Electrical Engineer / E&I Engineer / I&C Engineer in regulated or industrial environments (pharma strongly preferred).
* Proven experience supporting construction on site (not purely design office).
* Solid understanding of electrical installations (LV distribution, MCCs/panels, cabling/containment, earthing/bonding) and controls/instrumentation fundamentals.
* Familiarity with control systems such as PLC/SCADA/DCS (e.g., Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, DeltaV or any relevant exposure).
* Strong documentation discipline and ability to work within controlled processes.
Looking forward to speaking with you!
