Electrical Engineering Manager

ITS (Construction South) is recruiting an Electrical Engineering Manager on behalf of a leading construction and engineering client.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced electrical engineering professional to take a senior technical leadership role within a business delivering complex projects across demanding sectors, including data centres, defence, energy and critical infrastructure.

Our client provides integrated construction, engineering, refurbishment and project delivery services, supporting projects from early design and pre-construction through to completion and client handover. With a strong focus on quality, safety, technical expertise and long-term client relationships, the business is looking for an individual who can strengthen its electrical engineering capability and drive consistently high standards across its projects.

We are looking for someone who combines first‑class technical knowledge with the confidence to challenge, influence and lead.

As Electrical Engineering Manager, you will take a leading role in electrical engineering governance, technical assurance and compliance across multiple projects.

Working closely with senior management, technical specialists, HSEQ, operations and project delivery teams, you will ensure electrical systems are designed, installed, inspected, tested, commissioned and energised safely and in accordance with the required technical, regulatory and quality standards.

You will provide expert advice, establish consistent engineering procedures and ensure that electrical risks are identified and managed effectively. You will also have the authority to challenge non‑compliant proposals, require corrective action and intervene where safety or technical standards are not being met.
