💼 Full-Time
💰 Competitive Salary + Performance Bonus + Benefits



Lead with Purpose in a People-First Consultancy

An established building services consultancy with a strong commitment to sustainability and technical excellence is looking to appoint an Associate Electrical Design Engineer in their Oxfordshire office.

This is a leadership role—ideal for someone who not only wants to deliver great design work, but also mentor others, shape projects at a strategic level, and influence the future direction of a growing, design-led business.

You’ll work in a consultancy known for its low-carbon design ethos, Passivhaus credentials, and collaborative partnerships with architects, developers, and forward-thinking clients.



Your Role in the Business
  • Lead the electrical discipline on high-performance building services projects across education, residential, heritage, and science sectors
  • Take ownership of design quality, from early-stage feasibility through to construction and post-occupancy
  • Act as a mentor and technical guide to junior and intermediate engineers, creating a culture of development and collaboration
  • Represent the business at a senior level in client meetings, design workshops, and project reviews
  • Work closely with the mechanical, sustainability, and BIM teams to deliver coordinated and compliant MEP designs
  • Contribute to strategic planning, team resourcing, and client development
  • Help drive innovation in sustainable technologies and low-energy system design
  • Engage in continuous improvement of internal processes, QA procedures, and design standards


What You Bring
  • A degree (or equivalent) in Electrical or Building Services Engineering
  • Strong understanding of electrical systems in buildings: power, lighting, life safety, data, controls, etc.
  • Up-to-date with UK standards (BS 7671), building regs, CIBSE guides, and sustainability frameworks (e.g. Passivhaus, BREEAM)
  • Confidence leading teams and managing client relationships
  • Competency in design tools: AutoCAD, Revit (desirable), Amtech, Dialux/Relux
  • Chartered or actively working towards CEng status
  • A clear communicator with a strategic mindset and a collaborative approach


Why You’ll Thrive Here
  • Hybrid working with a welcoming Oxfordshire office and flexibility built on trust
  • Work on nationally recognised sustainable design projects, including certified Passivhaus schemes
  • Be part of a business that believes in hands-on leadership, open dialogue, and long-term partnerships
  • Grow into a senior leadership position with direct influence on the team and the business
  • Benefits include:
    • 28 days holiday + bank holidays
    • Private medical insurance
    • 8% employer pension contribution
    • Life insurance
    • Annual bonus scheme
    • Cycle-to-work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes
    • Training budget and chartership support
