At Tetra Tech, you’ll work on technically diverse building services projects across sectors such as life sciences, defence, healthcare and renewable energy, contributing to innovative and coordinated design solutions within a collaborative engineering team.

Purpose & Scope of the Role

As an Electrical Building Services Engineer, you will support the delivery of engineering consultancy services across projects from early concept through to detailed design and construction stages. Working within multidisciplinary design teams, you will produce electrical designs, calculations, reports and drawings that meet client requirements and regulatory standards. You will be involved across multiple sectors and across the design lifecycle, typically aligned with RIBA stages 1-4.

You will also support site surveys, construction-stage duties, and coordination with clients, architects and other engineering disciplines to ensure successful project delivery.

Your Impact in this position

You will contribute to the successful delivery of technically complex projects by applying strong electrical design expertise and sound engineering judgement. Your work will help ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with best practice. By managing your own workload across multiple projects and engaging effectively with clients and project teams, you will help strengthen project outcomes while supporting sustainable and energy-efficient building systems.

You will also help maintain high design quality and consistency across project deliverables.
