Take the lead on electrical design for some of the UK’s most high-profile building projects, while shaping your path to Associate Director.

Check you match the skill requirements for this role, as well as associated experience, then apply with your CV below.

You’ll be heading up the design of major landmark buildings - skyscrapers, stadia, hospitals and events centres - while working directly with top developers and influencing projects from the very start.

There’s more control, less churn and far fewer of the pressures that come from contractor-side delivery. You’ll guide the design development, make key decisions and enjoy hybrid working that actually works – three days in the vibrant Manchester studio and two days from home.

On top of that, you’ll have a clear route to Associate Director, working closely with the board and taking on more leadership and strategic responsibility as you go. It’s a genuine career step, not just a title bump.

And when it comes to sustainability, you’ll be helping clients achieve net zero, shaping how major projects respond to net zero legislation.

What you’ll do

Leading the electrical design on high-profile MEP projects, you’ll take ownership from early-stage concept through to handover. You’ll be meeting with clients to shape the brief, working with developers and architects, writing specs and choosing equipment that delivers both performance and sustainability.

You’ll run design team meetings, guide outputs and mentor junior engineers - sharing your knowledge while helping them improve.

What you’ll need

* At least 15 years’ experience in electrical design for building services

* Multi-sector experience, covering commercial, healthcare, sports and cultural buildings

* Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to guide others and present ideas clearly
