£22.6 - £26 per hourEstimated

Position : Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Location : Derby / London

Permanent

Office/Home Hybrid Working

Do you want to be part of a rapidly expanding M&E team within Infrastructure? Can you build relations with others to deliver an overall quality service? Are you a Chartered Electrical Design Engineer working in infrastructure? Then, join us for the next adventure in your career.

Create Solutions that will enable a better tomorrow

To grow our Infrastructure MEP design capability, we are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join us. Working for UK and international clients, you’ll have the ability to run multiple concurrent medium sized projects. You’ll have responsibility for the development, design & coordination of electrical services for infrastructure projects. COWI's active markets include water, transportation and mission critical sectors among others.

Your key responsibilities will be:

  • Oversee engineering work related to the design and specification of MV/LV power systems and distribution, including the production of single line diagrams, load schedules, cable calculations, and general arrangements.
  • Oversee the design of other electrical systems, including fire alarm, security, lighting design, lightning protection and earthing
  • Preparation of technical specifications
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, particularly with the BIM team, to prepare design models and drawings
  • Conducting thorough technical reviews of electrical designs, calculations, and specifications, ensuring accuracy and adherence to project requirements
  • Participation in project meetings, site surveys and inspections.
  • Adhering to all quality and governance processes

Your skills. Our team. Together we design the future.

The first step to success in this role is that you are eager to collaborate with the people around you, whether they are colleagues, partners, or customers. Developing ties with others is something you do by acting respectfully and delivering on your promises. And you never get set in your ways but keep exploring new insights and ways to improve.

On top of that, you’ll have:

  • A degree in Electrical Engineering
  • Chartered Engineer status or a similar professional qualification
  • Experience working on large scale UK infrastructure electrical design projects
  • Experience and agility to work across sectors as necessary
  • Demonstrable knowledge in using related software including Amtech, Dialux and ETAP
  • Proficiency in working with BIM software such as Revit, Open Buildings Designer or similar
  • Awareness and knowledge of energy reduction methods, carbon calculations, and sustainable design (particularly low energy)
  • A good understanding of British and Industry recognised technical standards and regulations
  • The ability to prioritise own workload and to work to deadlines
  • Knowledge of CDM2015 regulations, with an understanding of key health and safety issues and legislation

A place to work and so much more.

At COWI, we work together with our customers to shape a sustainable and liveable world. We do it by applying our knowledge and curiosity – and sometimes even our courage – to create the solutions the world needs today to enable a better tomorrow. We support our customers’ transition towards increased sustainability. We strive to lead by example by embedding environmental management, social responsibility and good governance into our business practices and the options we provide to our customers.

We value differences and development and cultivate an environment of belonging and having fun. Because that is what brings out the best in you, at work and at home.

With offices primarily located in the Nordic region, the UK, North America and India, we are currently more than 7,500 people who bring their expertise in engineering, architecture, energy and environment into play.

What we also offer

To us, a fair reward is more than a competitive salary. We want to take care of our people professionally and personally as well.

  • 28 days' holiday plus all UK bank and public holidays
  • Formalised development plans and yearly promotion opportunities
  • Private health care, for you and your immediate dependents
  • Flexible and hybrid working conditions
  • Annual subscription fees paid for your membership of two Professional Institutions
  • Group personal pension scheme – salary exchange
  • Life assurance
  • Cycle-to-work scheme
  • Corporate gym membership
