Senior Electrical Engineer – Manchester

This is a role for someone who thrives on technical excellence, leadership, and real world impact in complex, high reliability environments.

What’s in It For You

Technical leadership with real impact

This is more than a design role. You’ll take ownership of electrical engineering outcomes across major data centre programmes, guiding projects from concept through delivery and ensuring technical integrity at every stage.

Cutting edge, mission critical projects

You’ll work on some of the most advanced hyperscale and colocation data centres in Europe, applying your expertise across HV/LV distribution, UPS, standby generation, and life safety systems in environments where performance and resilience are non negotiable.

Influence across disciplines & clients

As part of a multidisciplinary MEP team, you’ll collaborate closely with internal specialists, external design partners, and clients, representing the electrical discipline and contributing to successful, well coordinated project outcomes.

Career progression & recognition

This role offers visibility across the business and with key clients. It’s ideally suited to someone looking to deepen their technical leadership while positioning themselves for wider strategic or regional roles in the future.

Develop others while growing yourself

You’ll support, mentor, and guide engineers within the team, while continuing your own professional development in a business that values learning, innovation, and technical excellence.

Values driven culture

You’ll join a collaborative environment built on Accountability, Integrity, Simplicity, and Supportiveness—where expertise is respected and contribution is recognised.

Essential Skills

• Degree qualified in Electrical Building Services Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• Extensive experience designing electrical systems including LV/HV distribution, UPS, standby generation, lighting, and fire alarm systems.
• Chartered Engineer or working towards Chartered status.
• Membership of a recognised professional body (IET, CIBSE, MinstMC, MIHEEM or similar).
• Strong technical understanding of MEP design across all project stages, from concept to completion.
• Proficiency in design tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Amtech, ETAP, Dialux, and Microsoft Office.

In addition, you will be joining a community that focuses on learning and development through regular lunch and learn sessions, investment in accredited professional courses or educational programmes. You can set the pace for your professional development, and whatever path you choose, you will receive relevant support.
