About the Role

Senior or Principal Electrical Design Engineer
London | 2 Office Days | £60,000 - £80,000

Not just another job. Not just another building.

If you're in a stable role but feel like you’re coasting, this is a chance to level up and really use your engineering brain. You’ll be designing critical infrastructure like data centres and high-performance commercial spaces where resilience, efficiency, and engineering excellence aren’t optional, they’re everything.

What makes this worth considering?

  • End-to-end influence – You’ll work directly with the client and user, not stuck behind a consultant chain.
  • 2 days in-office (flex if you prefer more) – walkable from key London stations.
  • Data centre newbie? No stress – They’ll train you on live projects.
  • Future-defining work – High-value systems you’ll point to proudly in 10 years.
  • Zero ego culture – Bring your ideas, challenge the status quo, shape the solution.
  • Sustainability-first mindset – Part of the design DNA, not a post-it note.

You might be in a secure job… but are you still learning? Still being listened to? Still challenged by what you're designing? If not, it could be time.

You’ll suit this if you:

  • Have a consultancy and DC or other technical and energy-hungry sector experience 
  • Enjoy tackling complex technical problems with real design ownership
  • Are confident in client meetings and passionate about performance
  • Electrical Engineering Degree
