Electrical Design Engineer - Building Services (Contract) in Belfast

Your new company
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Electrical Design Engineer to join the Building Services team of a leading multidisciplinary engineering consultancy in Belfast on an initial c.9-month contract.

Your new role
This position is being recruited on an initial c.9-month contract to support the team following the successful award of a number of new projects and the continued growth of its project pipeline. Rather than being a short-term cover requirement, the appointment represents an opportunity to become part of an established Building Services team working across a strong programme of secured work.

Responsibilities will include:

• Electrical building services design across a range of projects
• Preparation of design calculations, specifications, drawings and technical documentation
• Supporting projects through the various stages of design and delivery
• Working closely with Mechanical Engineers and other members of multidisciplinary project teams
• Liaising with clients, contractors and other project stakeholders
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant technical standards and client requirements
• Managing your own workload across multiple projects
• Providing technical input and support throughout project delivery

What you'll need to succeed
Applications are welcomed from Intermediate, Senior and experienced Electrical Building Services Engineers.
Ideally, you will have:

• A degree, HND/HNC or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Building Services Engineering or a closely related discipline
• Previous experience in Electrical Building Services design
• Experience within an engineering consultancy, M&E or multidisciplinary design environment
• Good technical knowledge of electrical building services systems
• Experience producing electrical designs, calculations, specifications and associated technical documentation
• A working knowledge of relevant electrical and Building Services standards, including BS 7671 / IET Wiring Regulations
• Experience using relevant design software such as Amtech/Trimble ProDesign, AutoCAD, Revit or Dialux would be advantageous
• Experience across Education, Healthcare, Defence or other public sector projects would be beneficial
• Ability to manage your own design workload and work effectively within multidisciplinary project teams

What you'll get in return
£50,000 - £60,000 pro rata, dependent on experience

Initial c.9-month contract

37.5 hours per week

Hybrid working - 3 days per week in the Belfast office
