We are currently looking for a talented and motivated Principal or Senior Electrical Engineer to join our Building Services design team in Maidenhead or London.

Undertaking outline and detailed designs and specifications for electrical works.
Providing day to day technical input as part of a team of engineers and technicians.
Ensuring design output is completed in accordance with the agreed scope of works, timescales and budgets.
Working in close collaboration with colleagues from other disciplines as required to deliver project requirements and added value to the Client.
Attending design and site meetings.
To be successful in this role you’ll possess:

A degree in Building Services Engineering (or equivalent) and chartered status (or be working towards achieving chartered status) with a relevant professional institution.
A good working knowledge of Revit, Navisworks, Clash Detection and Amtech.
Demonstrable experience in a similar role with strong project management skills.
The ability to manage a variety of projects meeting varying deadlines.
Strong problem solving skills working alongside architects and contractors to consider problems and come up with innovative solutions.
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to adapt your style to your audience.
Up to date knowledge of the UK construction market.
What’s in it for you?

This is an exciting time to join Sweco and if you want to be part of a company who is small in all the best ways but large enough to provide a diverse and exciting workload, this job is for you.
