The Role – Design, Technical, Electrical and Commissioning Engineer

Your input will directly impact programme delivery, compliance and client satisfaction.

• Support system energisation and performance verification

Reporting and Documentation
• Prepare commissioning reports, test packs and as built documentation
• Support client inspections, system demonstrations and final handover
• Maintain accurate technical records throughout the project lifecycle

About You

• Qualified Electrician with strong site experience or Degree in Electrical Engineering

• Healthcare support
• Ongoing CPD and training in electrical design and commissioning
