This key role includes supporting the design, delivery and management of construction projects along with dedicated electrical works and providing essential support to the Senior Electrical Engineer and Major Projects Team Manager.
This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a diverse portfolio of Electrical Engineering and Construction Project work. The team is currently delivering a range of exciting schemes, including new schools, childcare facilities, community buildings, and other strategic projects across the authority. With a strong pipeline of upcoming work, the department is committed to providing high quality, sustainable assets for the future.

This role offers a predominantly hybrid/remote working arrangement, although you will be expected to attend the office when necessary and undertake site or client visits where required.
We welcome applications from individuals with relevant industry experience who bring the right skills, attitude, and commitment to delivering high quality public sector projects that help improve outcomes for people of all ages.
