Are you passionate about making the world more sustainable? This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled Electrical Engineer (intermediate level) with broad experience in building services design. If you're excited about an opportunity to expand your knowledge and career while shaping the buildings of tomorrow, this role is for you.

ABOUT MAX FORDHAM

Here, sustainability is not just a guiding fundament but an everyday practice, woven into the fabric of our projects and professional culture. As you expand your expertise, you'll play a vital role in delivering technical solutions that advance both environmental responsibility and engineering quality, ensuring every project meaningfully contributes to the legacy of the built environment.

Max Fordham is an award-winning MEP engineering practice that is owned by the people who work here, and we are all committed to leading the industry in tackling the challenges posed by the climate and biodiversity crises.

We believe it is a shared responsibility to look after each other, care for our communities, and create a sustainable world. We pride ourselves on providing an open, inclusive and supportive environment for our employees and partners.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Based in our lively London office, this role involves working as an electrical engineer (intermediate level) in one of our multi-disciplinary MEP engineering groups, to design and deliver electrical services on projects across a range of sectors with duties covering all aspects from RIBA stage 0 to 7. Our aim is to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions that really work for our clients and are beautifully integrated with the architecture and structure.

We expect our Electrical Engineers to build on their initial professional development, supplementing existing knowledge with new learning to deliver electrical designs on projects. As part of their ongoing development, they will also carry out site monitoring, participate in client and design team meetings, and contribute to the initial training and support of graduate engineers. Intermediate Engineers will work under the guidance of Senior or Principal Engineers who oversee their work on projects.

ABOUT YOU

To produce the highest quality and most innovative engineering, we look for engineers who can think creatively and practically, applying a considered and rigorous approach to both design and delivery. You will be confident in your ability to handle new or unfamiliar technical issues and independently generate and develop ideas.

The ideal candidate will have gained wide experience through a graduate programme in electrical design working for a UK based MEP consultancy. You will have a strong understanding of electrical engineering in buildings and will be comfortable discussing the principles of electrical design with your peers, clients and collaborators. You will be self-motivated and capable of working well under pressure.

A strong desire to communicate and work collaboratively with others, both internally and externally, is essential. We expect our electrical engineers to contribute positively to the team and wider practice, with a demonstrable ability to prioritise a varied workload.

Holding a relevant degree qualification, you will be working towards, and possibly ready to apply for, chartered status. You will also have experience working with digital design tools such BlueBeam, Revit and ProDesign.
