Senior Electrical Engineer (Design & Projects) – London – to £66,000 + Package (Bonus c.10% of salary, Medical & Pension 12%)
In life there is generally an easier way and a harder way in most things…
Had enough of battling with contractors, working to unachievable deadlines, working on projects that have been costed so tightly that there is no time for unforeseen changes and generally fed up with the pressure and workload within traditional building services design consultancy?
Rather than dealing with these daily challenges, maybe you should consider working within a Commercial Property Consultancy that manages large estates and portfolios of buildings on behalf of some of the world’s leading businesses. Managing these buildings offers the opportunity to engage and work on all of the M&E Design projects that occur during the building’s lifetime. Essentially Commercial Property Consultancies have their own in‑house client base and have subsequently developed fully functioning, in‑house M&E Consultancies which feed off of the M&E projects across all of their client’s buildings and portfolios. They manage all aspects of a client’s property portfolio from buying, selling, leasing, etc. along with anything technical, including building surveying, PM, sustainability/NZC and M&E – including full detailed design (stages 0‑7).
Projects range in size across various sectors, predominantly (but are not limited to):
* Commercial & Mixed Use
* Data Centres
* Life Sciences
* Healthcare
* Industrial & Logistics
This means that Commercial Property Consultancies do not have to competitively tender for projects, resulting in projects being costed correctly, creating profit and not loss, creating a less pressurised environment, with acceptable working hours and providing the luxury of being able to recruit more engineers when required, pay well and reward well with significant annual bonuses.
The Opportunity
This role sits with one of the world’s largest Commercial Property Consultancies, number 1 in the global market in leasing, property sales, property management, occupier outsourcing and valuations, with revenues in excess of £20bn and 500 offices globally. A move into their M&E Design & Projects team would represent absolute career progression. A wide‑ranging scope of projects includes office fit‑outs, laboratories, industrial & logistics, data centres, listed and public buildings, refurbishments, new build, plant replacements, feasibility studies, project monitoring and sustainability projects.
It is a great time to join the business as due to growth they are expecting the London Design & Projects team to double in size within the next 1‑2 years, providing great opportunities for growth and progression within the team.
Based in either a central London office or working from home, you’ll be part of a team working on projects from concept design through to stage 7 detailed design. When in the office, you will work from a state‑of‑the‑art facility which is a showcase for current thinking in contemporary office design and technology. All employees are expected to work flexibly with part of their week working at home.
Essentially, a completely unique career opportunity: a client‑side role that will give you direct access to clients, working on the client’s behalf as part of the client team, acting as the client’s representative on projects. You’ll be offered responsibility for managing projects with support from the wider M&E team, and be given the opportunity to develop both your design skills and your commercial client‑facing and project‑management skills – not something that is available within traditional design consultancy, which will accelerate your career past your peer group.
There is structured training and a clear route for progression, with excellent CPD opportunities within the team. Although this Commercial Property Consultancy employs over 50,000 staff, they still put people before profit.
