Junior Electrical Engineer

Junior Electrical Engineer

Location: Clevedon, Somerset
Job Type: Permanent


About the Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Junior Electrical Engineer to join an established building services consultancy in Clevedon.
This role would be ideal for someone at the beginning of their career who wants to learn how electrical systems are designed for buildings and develop into a professional Electrical Design Engineer.
You could be a recent college leaver, someone who has completed an electrical apprenticeship, or a graduate with an Electrical Engineering qualification.
You don't need previous consultancy experience - full training and support will be provided.



What Will You Be Doing?

Working alongside experienced Electrical Engineers, you'll learn how electrical systems are designed for a wide range of buildings and projects.
Your day-to-day work will gradually include:

• Helping to design electrical systems for buildings
• Assisting with lighting and emergency lighting layouts
• Learning about power and electrical distribution
• Helping with electrical calculations
• Producing and updating electrical drawings
• Learning to use design software such as AutoCAD and Revit
• Working with other engineers to coordinate building services
• Helping to prepare technical documents and specifications
• Attending occasional site visits to see how designs are put into practice
• Developing your understanding of electrical standards and regulations

You'll start by supporting more experienced engineers and, as your knowledge develops, you'll gradually take on more responsibility.



Who Are We Looking For?

We're interested in speaking with people who are at the start of their engineering career.
You could be:

• A recent college leaver with an electrical or engineering qualification
• A Level 3 Electrical Engineering student looking for their first full-time role
• An Electrical Engineering graduate
• Someone who has completed an electrical or engineering apprenticeship
• An Electrical Technician looking for the next step
• Someone with a practical electrical background who wants to move into design

We're not expecting you to know everything.
We're looking for someone who is:

• Interested in Electrical Engineering
• Keen to learn and develop
• Comfortable working with computers and technology
• Good with numbers and problem solving
• Organised and able to pay attention to detail
• A good communicator
• Able to work well as part of a team

Most importantly, you'll need to have the right attitude and be genuinely interested in developing a career in electrical design.



Why Consider Building Services Design?

This is a great opportunity to build a long-term career in Electrical Engineering.
You'll learn how electrical systems are designed for real buildings, including:

• Lighting
• Small power
• Electrical distribution
• Containment
• Emergency lighting
• Fire alarm and other electrical services
• Renewable technologies

You'll also develop valuable experience with industry-standard software such as Revit and AutoCAD.
As you gain experience, you'll be able to progress from a Junior Electrical Engineer into roles such as:
Electrical Design Engineer → Senior Electrical Engineer → Principal Engineer → Associate
There are also opportunities to specialise in areas such as BIM, sustainability, project management or specialist electrical engineering.



About the Company

You'll be joining an established multidisciplinary building services consultancy with a strong presence across the South West.
The business works on a wide range of projects across sectors including education, healthcare, commercial, residential, industrial and public buildings.
You'll work alongside experienced engineers who can help you develop your technical knowledge and build a career within the industry.
