Engineering Design Manager (Electrical)
Why This Role
Most Design Manager roles sit between design and delivery.
This one sits across both.
You’ll have real input into how projects are engineered, not just how designs are reviewed, with the backing of a business that is scaling and investing in its engineering capability.
The Role
We’re hiring an Electrical Design Manager to take ownership of electrical engineering delivery across multiple live projects.
This is not a coordination role. You’ll be the senior electrical authority across design, preconstruction and delivery, influencing how projects are engineered, built and commissioned.
You’ll work closely with project teams, supply chain and clients to ensure designs are practical, compliant, and aligned to programme and commercial objectives.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Lead electrical design strategy from tender through to commissioning
Support preconstruction and estimation with value engineering and buildability input
Manage and challenge external design consultants and supply chain partners
Ensure design delivery aligns with programme, cost and technical requirements
Review technical submissions, drawings and BIM models
Provide on-site engineering support across project lifecycle
Oversee testing, commissioning and quality assurance processes
Ensure compliance with BS7671, NICEIC and DG engineering standards
Work alongside SAP for LV/HV systems and ensure safe system integration
Support development of junior and graduate engineers
Contribute to continuous improvement of DG design and QA processes
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
10+ years’ experience in electrical engineering within an M&E contractor environment
Strong background across design and site delivery (critical)
Proven experience managing design consultants and subcontractors
Deep understanding of electrical systems, standards and compliance (BS7671, 18th Edition)
Experience across commercial, infrastructure or mission-critical projects
Strong technical judgement with a practical, buildable mindset
Ability to influence stakeholders across design, commercial and delivery teams
Qualifications:
Degree or HNC in Electrical Engineering / Building Services
18th Edition Wiring Regulations
Benefits
Package
Salary: Negotiable (aligned to experience)
25 days annual leave + bank holidays
Private family healthcare
Pension (7% employer / 5% employee)
Long-term career development across UK & European projects
