Looking for an Electrical Project Engineer role where you’re involved in real engineering decisions — not just coordinating paperwork?
This opportunity sits within a growing engineering services business delivering high-voltage and infrastructure projects across power and renewables, supporting major programmes in partnership with the end client and design teams.
You’ll act as a key technical interface between delivery, design (Arcadis), and the client — helping drive projects from design through to commissioning and energisation.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll take responsibility for the technical delivery of electrical elements across projects, supporting design, installation, and commissioning phases.
Your role will include:
* Acting as the technical interface between delivery teams, design consultants, and the end client
* Reviewing and supporting design packages across electrical and power systems
* Working closely with design teams (including Arcadis) to resolve technical queries and design issues
* Supporting design development, including drawing updates and technical documentation
* Assisting with preparation of design packages, tender inputs, and material take-offs
* Managing RFIs and ensuring technical issues are resolved efficiently on live projects
* Supporting procurement of electrical equipment and systems
* Carrying out quality checks, inspections, and ensuring compliance with standards
* Supporting commissioning, testing, and final project handover
This is a hands-on engineering role — you’ll be expected to understand the systems, challenge designs where needed, and support solutions.
What you’ll need
* Degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering
* Experience within utilities, power, renewables, transmission, or infrastructure projects
* Exposure to electrical distribution systems, HV/MV networks, or industrial electrical installations
* Ability to interpret and work with electrical designs and technical documentation
* Experience working alongside design teams or consultants on live projects
* Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
You may have:
* Come through a hands-on electrical background (e.g. installation, commissioning)
* Or progressed from a graduate / junior project engineering route
Either is fine — what matters is your ability to understand and support real-world electrical systems.
Exposure to mechanical systems or multidisciplinary projects would be beneficial.
The role
* Based in Inverurie (Aberdeenshire)
* Supporting projects ranging from £1M to £40M+
* Working across multiple smaller projects or larger complex schemes
* Focused on technical delivery rather than full project management
* Clear progression into senior engineering or project management roles
Salary & package
The salary will range from £55,000 – £70,000 initially, depending on experience.
Full package details available on request.
