Job Description
Electrical Engineer - Inspection & Compliance
Location: Greater Manchester
Type: Permanent
This is not a site-install role.
And it's not for someone who wants to hide behind drawings or paperwork.
This role is for an experienced Electrical Engineer who understands risk, compliance, and responsibility, and is ready to step into a position where their judgement actually matters.
Our client is a global engineering and inspection organisation trusted to protect people, assets, and businesses across critical infrastructure, industrial, and commercial environments.
The Role:
You'll be responsible for inspecting, assessing, and advising on electrical systems to ensure they are safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.
In plain terms:
* You'll inspect LV and HV electrical installations and equipment
* You'll assess compliance with UK legislation and standards
* You'll identify risk - and explain it clearly to clients
* You'll produce professional reports that stand up to scrutiny
* You'll act as a trusted technical authority, not a box-ticker
* This is a role where your engineering judgement carries weight.
This suits an Electrical Engineer who:
* Has a strong hands-on background and moved beyond the tools
* Understands regulations, not just theory
* Is comfortable making decisions and standing by them
* Can communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders
* Takes pride in doing things properly, not quickly
You're likely to have experience in:
* Electrical engineering (industrial, commercial, or infrastructure)
* Inspection, testing, commissioning, or compliance
* Working with regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations and BS standards
* Formal qualifications matter - but competence and credibility matter more.
Why This Role?
* Permanent, stable position with a respected organisation
* Varied technical work - no two days the same
* Clear structure, professional standards, and support
* Long-term career path in inspection, risk, and engineering assurance
* You're paid for your expertise, not how fast you can install
* This is a career move, not just a job.
Interested?
If you're an Electrical Engineer who wants responsibility, professional respect and a role where your experience actually counts then this is worth a confidential conversation.
