Benefits: 26–30 days holiday + bank holidays, up to 12% pension, performance bonus, annual medical assessment, flexible benefits platform, professional development opportunities 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
