Senior Electrical design practice local and knows it

Position: Senior Electrical design A practice that needs someone local and knows it.
Good at electrical design. Just not at a firm that has noticed yet.

A building services consultancy in Essex has a Senior Electrical Design Engineer role available. If where you are now rewards good work with more of the same rather than more of the responsibility, this is worth reading.

The practice is based in Ingatestone, reachable from a wide corridor of Essex, East London, and the surrounding area without the Central London commute. The work covers commercial, residential, healthcare, and education schemes. A varied portfolio that keeps an electrical engineer technically engaged and gives you the breadth to grow.

At senior level here, you are not a pair of hands in someone else's process. You run your own projects. Client contact from day one. Design responsibility that is genuine, not theoretical. The kind of role where your technical judgment drives the outcome rather than waiting for sign-off from someone three rungs above you.

You will have solid UK building services electrical experience — LV systems, lighting, small power, containment — with the confidence to work across the full project lifecycle. Chartered or working towards it. Both welcomed.

The Essex commute from Central London is something people do in the wrong direction. This is the right direction. Less time on a train. More time on work that matters.

Salary is between £52,000 and £68,000, in line with Responsum's 2026 UK Built Environment Salary Guide for Senior Electrical Engineers in the South East. Benefits to be discussed on application.
