Manchester | Hybrid | Competitive Salary
If you're a Senior/Principal Electrical Engineer who has reached the point where you want more influence, more ownership and a team of your own, this could be one worth having a conversation about.
We’re representing a leading multidisciplinary engineering consultancy that is looking to appoint a Principal Electrical Engineer to lead a team of around 3–4 engineers/designers and take technical ownership of a portfolio of high-profile projects.
This isn't a role where you'll simply be reviewing drawings and attending meetings.
�� You’ll be doing the good stuff: ⚡ Lead and develop a team of 3–4 Electrical Engineers & Designers
⚡ Take technical ownership of major projects
⚡ Lead electrical design from RIBA 1–7
⚡ Be the senior technical voice with clients
⚡ Influence design strategy and engineering solutions
⚡ Coordinate with Mechanical, Structural & Architectural teams
⚡ Mentor and develop the next generation of engineers
⚡ Support bids, tenders and business development
⚡ Help shape the continued growth of the electrical team
��️ The Projects? Think complex, technically challenging schemes rather than repetitive work.
�� Healthcare
�� Data Centres / Mission Critical
�� Commercial & Workplace
�� Education
�� Residential & High-Rise
�� Industrial & Manufacturing
��️ Public Sector
�� Who are we looking for? You could currently be a:
Senior Electrical Engineer looking for that first Principal opportunity
or
Principal/Associate Engineer ready for a bigger platform.
You'll need strong UK Building Services experience, excellent electrical design knowledge and, importantly, the ability to lead people as well as projects.
CEng / MCIBSE would be advantageous, alongside experience with Revit, AutoCAD and electrical calculation/design software.
�� Why this role? Because you're not just being brought in to fill a seat.
You'll have the opportunity to build a team, influence projects, develop clients and have a genuine say in how the electrical discipline moves forward.
If you're open to hearing what's out there — even if you're not actively looking — drop me a message.
