Senior Engineer

We have an opportunity for an Electrical Engineer or Senior Engineer to play a key role in delivering high quality, sustainable electrical engineering solutions across multiple projects in the built environment.

You will join our Electrical team based in either our Glasgow or Edinburgh office, offering the opportunity to work with both offices and contribute to projects across Scotland and the wider UK.

It’s an exciting time to join our Scotland team. Our Glasgow office—established in 2016 to provide a local presence for projects—has grown into a hub of sector expertise and knowledge that supports work across the UK.

The opening of our Edinburgh office reflects our commitment to strengthening relationships with clients on the East Coast by providing a local base for those projects. This role can be based in either Glasgow or Edinburgh,

We are a recognised leader in the built environment, shaping some of the most ambitious and technically demanding projects across the residential, hospitality, leisure, commercial, and complex engineering sectors.

Our work spans cutting-edge healthcare and research facilities, a broad range of education projects—from primary and secondary schools to further and higher education campuses—high-performance data centres, critical infrastructure and state-of-the-art manufacturing and technology environments. These projects push boundaries and deliver real‑world impact.

Driven by a commitment to excellence, we combine innovation, technical expertise, and practical delivery to create solutions that are not only robust and reliable, but forward-thinking and sustainable. Our teams work at the forefront of the industry, collaborating with leading clients across the public and private sectors, both locally and internationally.

Working alongside a range of specialist engineers and consultants, you will be joining a collaborative, knowledgeable, highly engaged team who love what they do, and offer a supportive, flexible, and high-performing work culture.

You will own project deliverables, manage elements of the internal delivery team, and liaise with multidisciplinary colleagues, clients and contractors to ensure holistic, compliant and commercially aware solutions. You will typically lead defined elements and smaller projects (Engineer) or take full lead responsibility for larger schemes and broader client engagement (Senior Engineer). You will be helping to develop junior staff and foster relationships that support future business growth.

In this key and varied role, you can expect to:

• Take briefs and deliver electrical design work from inception through to completion.
• Produce electrical calculations, drawings and technical documentation that comply with relevant regulations, design guides and client standards.
• Ensure quality standards and technical accuracy across deliverables.
• Coordinate electrical design with other disciplines (MEP and our specialist groups) and third‑party consultants.
• Review and comment on technical information provided by contractors and sub‑contractors; check site installations against the design intent.
• Attend and report at design team meetings, client meetings and project meetings.
• Witness selected testing and commissioning activities and support handover documentation.
• Manage own workload to meet programme deliverables and report progress to your line manager.
• Contribute to the professional development of junior colleagues.
