We’re working with a dynamic and growing M&E consultancy in Cambridge that is looking to strengthen its electrical design team and is open to candidates from Senior Engineer through to Principal Engineer level.

You’ll be joining a collaborative team working across a varied portfolio of building services projects. The business has a strong pipeline of work and is looking for engineers who want to be involved in interesting projects while having the freedom to develop their own career.

• Providing technical guidance and mentoring to junior and intermediate engineers
• Taking ownership of project delivery, programmes and technical outputs
• Contributing to the continued development of the electrical team and wider consultancy

For Principal-level candidates, there will also be the opportunity to take a leading role in technical delivery, develop client relationships, mentor the wider team and contribute to the future growth of the business.
