In this role as a Lead Electrical Engineer, you will join the Electrical, Instrumentation & Process Control discipline of an international leader in industrial services. The company supports process industry customers across the full lifecycle of their plants, from engineering and construction to maintenance and renovation, all under one roof.
You will be the right hand of the department head and a trusted technical lead on complex, multidisciplinary projects in the energy transition, industry, pharma, and complex buildings. It is a role with real visibility and room to grow into a Specialist, Project Manager, or Engineering Manager position.

- Take ownership of the quality of the electrical design, including budget and planning, and flag scope changes proactively
- Work alongside the project manager and the lead engineers of other disciplines, such as building services (civil and HVAC), piping, and process, to coordinate the project
- Act as the face of the engineering team towards customers
- Look beyond the initial request to understand the real need, define the right scope, and estimate the hours required
- Set a clear vision for what the electrical installation should look like from the start of a project and communicate it with confidence to customers and colleagues
- Cover the full electrical scope, including energy distribution, lighting, grounding and lightning protection, tracing, and communication systems
- Oversee technical descriptions and cost estimates
- Advise clients and chain partners on the best technical solutions
- Manage one or more electrical engineers within your projects
- Coach and guide juniors, starters, and interns in the department
- Stay involved across all project phases, from conceptual engineering through to construction management
- Work towards outcomes that matter, such as reduced emissions, energy savings, and safe installations
