Our client is a specialist engineering company across clean and wastewater infrastructure projects throughout the UK. Working closely with tier-one contractors and framework partners, they deliver robust, buildable electrical designs across treatment works, pumping stations, and network assets.
Due to continued growth, they are seeking a mid-to-senior Electrical Design Engineer to join their Bristol-based team.
The Role
You will be involved in the full D&B design lifecycle, producing practical, construction-ready electrical designs and supporting projects through delivery. Key responsibilities include:
Electrical design from outline design through to detailed design and construction issue
Development of buildable LV electrical designs including power distribution, MCCs, switchgear, control panels, standby generation, and earthing/bonding
Preparation of electrical calculations such as load schedules, cable sizing, fault levels, and protection coordination
Production and coordination of electrical drawings including single line diagrams, schematics, layouts, and cable schedules
Close coordination with mechanical, civil, ICA, and construction teams to resolve buildability, sequencing, and installation challenges
Technical review of supplier and subcontractor design information
Support during construction, commissioning, and handover phases
Ensuring compliance with BS 7671, WIMES, DSEAR, CDM, and client standards
About You
You will ideally have:
A qualification in Electrical Engineering (degree, HNC/HND, or equivalent)
Proven experience delivering electrical design within D&B water or wastewater projects
Strong understanding of construction-stage design development and contractor interfaces
Experience working with MCC suppliers and electrical subcontractors
Familiarity with electrical design tools such as Amtech/Trimble and AutoCAD
A pragmatic, delivery-focused approach to engineering design
Clear communication skills and confidence working in fast-paced project environments
Working towards or holding Chartered Engineer status (IET or equivalent) would be beneficial but is not essential.
This role will suit an Electrical Design Engineer who enjoys hands-on design, contractor collaboration, and seeing projects through to delivery.
