The Company
This well-established Irish building services consultancy has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality electrical and MEP design solutions across commercial and residential developments. Known for its technical expertise and collaborative delivery, the company partners with developers, architects, and contractors to deliver efficient, compliant, and innovative electrical design solutions.

With a strong pipeline of work and a focus on quality-led project delivery, the company offers engineers the opportunity to take ownership of projects and play a key role in shaping design outcomes from early stage through to completion.

The Role – Senior Electrical Design Engineer
This is a senior-level electrical design role within a growing building services consultancy, offering full involvement across the project lifecycle from concept design through to construction and handover.

You will lead the electrical design elements of projects, ensuring systems are robust, efficient, and fully coordinated with mechanical and architectural requirements. The role suits an experienced electrical design engineer with strong Irish consultancy experience who is confident delivering projects rather than just supporting them.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop electrical concepts including power distribution, lighting design, emergency systems, and energy-efficient solutions
  • Prepare detailed calculations, technical reports, drawings, and specifications
  • Coordinate electrical designs with mechanical systems, architects, and structural teams
  • Manage design deliverables to ensure projects are delivered on programme and within budget
  • Liaise with ESB Networks, utility providers, and local authorities for incoming services
  • Support tender preparation, respond to technical queries, and review contractor submissions
  • Review electrical shop drawings, equipment submittals, and installation quality on site
  • Attend site meetings, manage RFIs, and oversee design changes during construction
  • Monitor commissioning, testing, and handover of electrical systems
  • Mentor junior engineers and support development of the electrical team
About You
  • Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering or Building Services Engineering
  • 5 to 10 years experience in electrical design within an Irish building services consultancy
  • Strong knowledge of electrical systems including LV distribution, lighting, fire alarm, and life safety systems
  • Good understanding of Irish regulations, standards, and compliance requirements
  • Proven ability to deliver electrical design packages from concept to handover
  • Strong coordination and communication skills across multidisciplinary teams
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and take ownership of delivery
  • Full driving licence with flexibility for site visits
What’s on Offer
Salary: €60,000 – €75,000 DOE
Benefits:
  • 4-day working week
  • Pension contribution
  • Ongoing CPD and professional development
  • Clear progression to senior and leadership roles
  • Opportunity to lead electrical design on high-quality projects
Why Apply?
This is a strong opportunity for an Electrical Design Engineer who wants to step into a senior role with real project ownership in a respected Irish consultancy. You will be trusted to lead electrical design packages, contribute to key decisions, and play a central role in project delivery.

The 4-day working week offers a genuine improvement in work-life balance while still working on technically interesting and well-managed projects. This role suits someone who values both career progression and quality of life.
