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.
To apply for this position please forward and updated CV asap.
