Lead Electrical Design Engineer (Building Services)

LEAD ELECTRICAL ENGINEER | MANCHESTER
The No.2. The voice in the room. The person who gets things moving. Some Lead Electrical Engineers are happy to sit back and let everyone else make the decisions.
This isn't that role.
We're looking for a confident, technically strong Lead Electrical Engineer who isn't afraid to speak up, challenge decisions and take control when the team needs direction.
You'll be the second-in-command within the electrical team — working closely with the senior leadership team and helping drive the technical direction, standards and performance of the group.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING ⚡ Lead and develop the electrical engineering team
👊 Be the technical voice in the room
📐 Take ownership of complex electrical design projects
🗣️ Challenge, influence and make decisions
👥 Mentor and push engineers to perform at their best
🤝 Work closely with clients and project teams
📈 Support the growth of the electrical team and workload
🎯 Step up and take the lead when senior management aren't in the room
We're looking for someone who can command a room without needing to shout — someone with the technical credibility and personality to get engineers moving in the same direction.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? You'll be an experienced Senior / Principal / Lead Electrical Engineer with a strong building-services background.
You don't have to be the loudest person in the office.
But you do need a voice.
You need to be comfortable challenging people, making decisions, giving direction and taking responsibility when things get difficult.
If you're technically strong, commercially aware and naturally become the person people look to when something needs sorting — we should talk.
