We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced electrical design manager, with previous major MEP project experience (MEP value of £20m - £100m+) to be part of the team responsible for managing the electrical design on one of our key projects, Brighton hospital. Our design teams ensure technical excellence, assurance and performance across all projects and opportunities from pre-project, early engagement and work winning through to detailed delivery.

In return for your knowledge and experience we can offer you an exciting and varied career with access to some truly great projects. We are committed to extensive training, development, and long-term career opportunities and as such this role is suitable for someone who is seeking long-term career progression.

  • Implement the processes that enable the design to be challenged and interrogated within a collaborative team framework.
  • Implement agreed processes for the production, control and distribution of design information at different project stages.
  • Ensure design information is thoroughly reviewed: for buildability, safety and maintainability, 'completeness & compliance' and technical suitability before use.
  • Assist the Design Leader in promoting innovation in design management, methodology, processes and practices.
  • Assist the Design Leader in promoting the application and adoption of the Company's vision and values in all design management activities.
