Job Details

Are you an experienced M&E or Electrical Engineering professional looking for the opportunity to build and grow a team within an ambitious consultancy?

Would you like to take on a senior leadership role where you can influence business growth, win work and remain involved in technical project delivery?

Salary: £65,000-£100,000 depending on experience and seniority.
Locations: Basingstoke or Manchester preferred. London and Bristol may also be considered. Flexible working arrangements discussed individually.

I am recruiting for an Associate, Associate Director or Director specialising in M&E or Electrical Engineering to join my client's expanding engineering consultancy.

My client is an ambitious, growing business with an established presence in rail and wider infrastructure. Following significant year-on-year growth and the recent launch of its Manchester operation, the business is looking to strengthen its senior M&E capability and develop new opportunities across the UK.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to make a genuine impact, combining technical leadership and project delivery with business development and the opportunity to build a team.

My client is flexible on the exact level of appointment and is particularly interested in speaking with strong performers who have the ambition and ability to progress into a more senior leadership position.

Essential Requirements

• Previous experience delivering rail engineering projects.
• Significant technical design and project delivery experience, ideally seven years or more.
• Experience leading engineering projects, coordinating teams and managing client relationships.
• Ability to contribute to business development, identify opportunities and help secure new work.
• Strong understanding of engineering design, technical assurance and multidisciplinary project delivery.
• A hands-on approach, with the ability to remain actively involved in engineering rather than focusing solely on programme management.
• Previous permanent employment experience and a genuine interest in building a long-term career within the business.

Nice to Have

• Experience at Associate, Associate Director or Director level.
• A background in electrical building services, rail M&E or wider infrastructure engineering.
• Experience within a smaller or medium-sized consultancy, although larger consultancy backgrounds will also be considered.
• Previous involvement in growing engineering teams or developing new service offerings.
• Established industry relationships and a track record of winning work.
• Experience across multiple sectors, including rail, buildings and infrastructure.
• Chartered Engineer status or relevant professional accreditation.

Why Join?

My client offers the opportunity to play a key role in a rapidly growing consultancy, influence its future direction and help build an engineering team. There is genuine flexibility around seniority, with long-term progression opportunities for ambitious individuals.
