Senior Electrical Engineer

Job Description

Job DescriptionDesign systems that power buildings—and a career you'll be proud of.

If you're a Senior Electrical Engineer who enjoys solving complex building challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and mentoring the next generation of engineers, this role offers a chance to do meaningful work in an environment that truly values people.

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established, forward-thinking engineering firm known for its collaborative culture, thoughtful leadership, and commitment to both technical excellence and work-life balance.

• The chance to make a real impact on projects, people, and processes
