Senior Electrical Building Services Engineer
Nottingham (Office-based)
An established, long-standing Building Services consultancy with over 50 years’ industry presence is looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineer to join their growing Nottingham office.
This is a business with a strong pipeline of secured work and an enviable client base, delivering projects across healthcare, public sector, commercial, leisure, and specialist sectors. With around 80% of work coming from repeat clients, they’ve built a reputation for quality delivery and long-term partnerships — to the point where new work consistently lands without the need for active business development.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of electrical design delivery across a diverse portfolio, overseeing projects from initial survey through to handover. This is a hands‑on, end‑to‑end role where engineers are trusted to manage the full lifecycle, rather than being siloed into specific stages.
Projects are varied and engaging, including:
* Healthcare schemes and NHS frameworks
* Large‑scale leisure developments (including significant work with Center Parcs)
* Long‑term retail partnerships (notably a 15+ year relationship with Urban Outfitters across the UK & Europe)
* Decarbonisation projects within the education sector
* Emergency services and fire & rescue frameworks
You’ll be client‑facing, working closely with stakeholders, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure technically robust and commercially viable solutions.
Key Responsibilities
* Electrical design from concept through to RIBA Stage 7
* Production of calculations, specifications, drawings, and tender documentation
* Coordination with wider MEP and sustainability teams
* Client and design team engagement
* Site inspections, reporting, and quality assurance
* Supporting feasibility studies and technical reports
About You
* 5+ years’ experience in electrical building services design
* Strong working knowledge of BS 7671, emergency lighting, and fire alarms
* Comfortable in a client‑facing role with strong communication skills
* Experience delivering projects within a consultancy or contractor environment
* Relevant qualification (HNC/HND/Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar)
* Competent with AutoCAD and electrical design software
* Full UK driving licence
The Business
* Well‑established consultancy with a strong reputation and long‑term client relationships
* Diverse project portfolio with no pigeon‑holing — engineers are encouraged to be well‑rounded
* Growing team with continued investment, including a £40k office refurbishment to expand capacity
* Collaborative, close‑knit environment with engineers working closely together on a daily basis
Salary & Benefits
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays
* Employee Assistance Programme
This is a great opportunity for a well‑rounded engineer who wants real ownership, variety in their work, and the chance to be part of a busy, stable consultancy with a strong reputation and consistent workload.
