• Someone with at least 5 years’ experience in an electrical project engineering role.
• A qualified electrician who’s stepped into engineering/project coordination or is keen to make that move.

• Getting in touch with suppliers, reviewing quotes, and making sure everything lines up with project specs.
• Pulling together technical submittals and documentation for client sign-off.
• Building and updating project programmes, tracking progress against the plan.
• Coordinating contractors, internal teams, and site crews to deliver on schedule.
• Writing up method statements, risk assessments, and managing project QA procedures.
• Acting as the key link between the office and site – liaising with subcontractors, client reps, and trades.
• Taking ownership of on-site supervision, ensuring quality and safety standards are always met.
• Carrying out site surveys and producing detailed work packages.
• Keeping safety documentation up to date and carrying out audits as required.
• Managing contract documentation, tracking variations, and supporting with O&M manuals.
