Due to increased project activity and continued product development, they are looking to appoint a Test Engineer to join their established engineering team.

This position offers real variety and technical breadth.

Assistant Electrical Engineer (HV/Power Systems)

Location- Preston

Paying up to 40k (Flexible)

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Electrical Engineer with a genuine interest in High Voltage (HV) electrical design to join a growing building services consultancy based in Preston.

This is a rare and long-term development role, offering hands-on exposure to HV systems within the built environment and the chance to learn directly from a highly experienced senior engineer, with a clear pathway to taking ownership of this specialist function in the future.

The Company

You will be joining a business entering its next phase of planned growth, already home to the largest Building Services design team in Preston. The consultancy works across a broad range of technically challenging projects and has built a strong reputation across the Northwest.

Projects are predominantly located across Preston, Lancaster, Carlisle and the wider Northwest, covering both new build and refurbishment schemes.

Sectors include:

  • Education (universities, student accommodation)
  • Healthcare (hospitals and clinical buildings)
  • Residential
  • Industrial
  • Commercial offices and local authority projects

This exposure will give you experience across multiple sectors and RIBA Stages, far beyond a narrow or repetitive role.

The Role

This position sits within the Electrical Engineering team, with a strong emphasis on developing capability in HV electrical systems within buildings.

You will initially work closely with a senior HV specialist, learning the design, assessment and operational aspects of:

  • High voltage electrical distribution within buildings and sites
  • Backup and resilience systems including UPS, generators, batteries and standby power
  • Electrical safety, fault levels, voltage/earth leakage and other detailed technical calculations
  • Understanding HV interfaces between site infrastructure and buildings

Alongside this, you will:

  • Be involved in client liaison from day one, taking briefs, understanding requirements and acting as a technical interface as projects develop
  • Work under the guidance of Principal and Associate Engineers, with structured progression toward greater technical and project responsibility
  • Gain exposure to wider building services coordination and, over time, move toward a project management capacity on your own schemes

This is not a typical building services electrical role. The business is specifically looking for someone who wants to go deeper technically and build a niche in HV engineering.

About You

This role would suit an engineer who is early in their career but highly motivated to specialise.

You are likely to have:

  • A degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or Building Services Engineering
  • Experience within a building services consultancy, contractor or similar technical environment
  • Some exposure to electrical design within buildings (LV or HV)
  • A clear interest or passion for HV electrical design, power systems and resilient infrastructure
  • The confidence to communicate with clients and project stakeholders

Previous direct HV experience is not essential - attitude, curiosity and willingness to learn are critical.
