Lead Electrical Engineer

ERSG are supporting a leading engineering and construction specialist delivering complex, high-value projects across sectors including pharmaceuticals, industrial, and advanced technology.

We're looking for a Lead Electrical Engineer who wants to step into a true leadership role , driving engineering excellence, guiding teams, and ensuring electrical packages are delivered to the highest standard across the full project lifecycle.

This is your opportunity to move beyond delivery and take ownership of technical direction, decision-making, and team development on major builds.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading the electrical engineering function across large-scale construction projects
• Providing technical guidance and mentorship to project engineers and site teams
• Driving design coordination and ensuring alignment with site execution
• Resolving complex technical challenges and constructability issues
• Overseeing RFIs, design changes, and engineering deliverables
• Supporting procurement, commissioning, and final handover phases
• Conducting technical reviews, audits, and quality inspections throughout delivery
• Working closely with project leadership to support risk management and key decisions

You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring projects are not only delivered - but delivered right.

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline)
• Significant experience (8-10+ years) delivering electrical packages in construction or building services in the UK or Ireland
• Proven track record leading engineering activities on large, complex projects
• Strong technical expertise across power distribution and building services systems
• Experience managing design coordination and multidisciplinary interfaces
• Confident leader with the ability to mentor and develop engineering teams
• Strong communicator with a proactive, solutions-focused mindset

Why This Role Stands Out

• Step into a visible leadership role on high-profile, technically complex projects
• Influence both engineering quality and project outcomes
• Work within a collaborative environment where your expertise is valued
• Opportunity to shape and mentor the next generation of engineers
• Clear path for continued career progression and leadership growth

Desirable Experience

• Background in pharma, industrial, healthcare, or advanced technology projects
• Experience with BIM / Revit and digital engineering tools
• Electrical trade background
