Hoare Lea is a human-centric and planet-conscious engineering consultancy. We offer intelligent and sustainable solutions to complex design challenges for the built environment throughout the UK and further afield.

Principal Electrical Engineer. Bournemouth or Reading.

About The Role

We have a brand-new opportunity for a Principal Electrical Engineer to join our team based in our Bournemouth or Reading offices.

Bournemouth: we have maintained an office on the south coast for more than 45 years, building significant building services expertise and creating long-term relationships both locally and further afield.

Reading: This is a thriving town that is seeing an exponential growth across many sectors. We are supporting transformational and sustainable change with major projects, such as Station Hill and many others. We are connecting with like-minded businesses and professionals in the area.

We are eager to speak with candidates who have experience in commercial, residential, and mission-critical projects. We are large enough to provide stability and opportunity, and small enough to recognise our people as individuals. Driven by our vision, we are committed to positively impacting the relationship between people and the planet. We create high-performing buildings that address the challenges of climate change while also providing spaces that cater to the needs of modern living.

As a Principal Engineer, you will be responsible for supporting and delivering designs for a range of project types and sizes. You will work within a multidisciplinary team of engineers and support staff delivering a consistent high-quality service for clients, ensuring that repeat and new business opportunities are developed and profitability is achieved.

In this key and varied role, you can expect to:

• Be responsible for the day-to-day technical delivery of the electrical design services for multi-disciplinary projects across a number of building sectors.
• Lead the development of initial strategic concepts for projects ensuring solutions are appropriate for the brief and regulatory standards.
• Interact regularly with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring a communicative, collaborative and timely approach to delivery. This is a client-facing role, so you will be attending project meetings and disseminating / translating the brief within the project team.
• Work with the team leader to help monitor fee expenditure, resources and work delivered.
• Mentor and support our ‘next gen’ professionals, including apprentices and graduates.

About You

To be successful in this role you’ll need:

• Proven experience working as an Electrical Engineer or in a closely related role, with a track record delivering on a variety of complex projects.
• Experience of modern technical delivery processes, and use of relevant software/tools such as BIM, Revit, Electrical OM, Dialux and Relux.
• Demonstrable experience working with clients/contractors / architects in a design-oriented / consultant role.
• Self-awareness, an open mind, and a spirit of generosity.
• Experience in supporting others to develop knowledge, skills, and confidence.
