Summary
Associate Director (Electrical)
Where big ideas meet bright sparks.
If you’re the kind of engineer who doesn’t just design buildings but defines how they perform, this is your stage. Our client – a respected name in building services and sustainable design – is growing fast, and they’re looking for an Associate Director (Electrical) to help lead the charge in Cambridge.
This isn’t just another senior role. It’s a chance to help shape the future of world-class facilities in science, research, and healthcare — places where innovation literally happens every day. You’ll steer high-profile projects, mentor exceptional engineers, and sit at the table where big strategic decisions are made.
What you’ll actually do
Lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects that make a visible impact.
Be the go-to for clients — the face they trust to deliver brilliance.
Drive bids, bring in new opportunities, and help steer the business forward.
Set technical standards across the electrical discipline — and raise the bar.
Keep projects profitable, people motivated, and performance on point.
Represent the firm in senior forums and industry circles (and make it look easy).
Build and nurture a talented team — shaping the next generation of engineers.
Who you are
A Chartered Electrical Engineer with a proven track record at principal/senior level (or beyond).
A natural leader who can rally a team and inspire confidence in clients.
Commercially sharp — you see both the numbers and the bigger picture.
Calm under pressure, strategic under fire, and unflappable in meetings.
Technically strong — you know your craft and how it connects with the wider picture.
A confident communicator who builds trust, wins work, and drives results.
Why this role
Because it’s rare to find a position that offers this much autonomy, influence, and visibility — while working on projects that genuinely matter. You won’t just be delivering buildings; you’ll be helping define how an entire region approaches performance, sustainability, and innovation in design.
Cambridge is growing. So is this team. If you’re ready to lead the charge — not just follow the circuit — this is your moment.
Base salary from 75k+bens
