An opportunity has arisen for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join a major infrastructure programme delivering critical water and wastewater projects across London and the Thames Valley.
Working on schemes ranging from £30m to £200m+, you will play a key role in ensuring electrical systems across major capital projects are designed correctly, delivered safely, and built to perform long-term.
This is not a traditional design role. Instead, you will act as the client-side technical authority, reviewing engineering solutions, influencing design decisions, and working closely with contractors and consultancies to ensure projects meet the highest technical and operational standards.
The position offers a strong blend of engineering influence, project exposure, and technical leadership, while still remaining close to the technical detail.

Key Responsibilities
*Provide technical assurance and electrical engineering expertise across major capital infrastructure projects.
*Support projects throughout the entire lifecycle – feasibility, design, delivery, and handover.
*Conduct design reviews and technical assessments to ensure compliance with engineering standards and regulatory requirements.
*Work closely with contractors, consultants, and multidisciplinary teams to support successful project delivery.
*Ensure projects deliver value for money, optimal whole-life cost, and long-term asset performance.
*Promote and uphold health, safety, and wellbeing standards across all activities.
*Support the development of innovative and resilient engineering solutions.

Candidate Requirements
*Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
*Experience working on large or technically complex engineering projects.
*Strong understanding of electrical systems within infrastructure, utilities, or heavy engineering environments.
*Experience collaborating across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
*Commercial awareness and familiarity with engineering contracts and project delivery frameworks.
*Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills.

Why Apply?
*Opportunity to work on major infrastructure investment programmes.
*Be involved in projects that directly impact millions of customers and environmental resilience.
*Join a collaborative engineering environment focused on innovation and technical excellence.
*Long-term career development within a major infrastructure programme.
