Electrical Engineer – Project Role (Edinburgh Area)
Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer looking for a career move away from the tools? This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-end, critical site just outside Edinburgh, working in a permanent role focused on project delivery and subcontractor management.
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer with a strong background in electrical systems and project delivery. This role will see you responsible for overseeing a variety of small works projects (typically under £100k), ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
Unlike a traditional engineering role, this is not hands-on; you will primarily be office-based, managing and supervising subcontractors, writing and controlling permits, and acting as the on-site custodian to maintain compliance and safety standards. A resilient, assertive personality is key, as you will be responsible for challenging contractors and ensuring quality is upheld across all projects.
Key Responsibilities
*
Oversee and coordinate subcontractors delivering small works projects across the site.
*
Manage permits, isolations, and safe systems of work.
*
Supervise project activities, ensuring safety, compliance, and efficiency.
*
Take ownership of project completion within cost and time parameters.
*
Act as the link between engineering teams and contractors, ensuring smooth delivery.
What We’re Looking For
*
Strong electrical background – ideal for an experienced Electrical Engineer moving into a project-focused role.
*
Knowledge of LV/HV systems is advantageous (AP training can be provided).
*
Experience in contractor supervision and project engineering.
*
Confident, resilient character, able to manage and challenge subcontractors.
*
Ambitious and reliable, with the drive to grow within a critical site environment.
What’s on Offer
*
Permanent position with structured shifts (days only).
*
On-site parking, gym facilities, and subsidised lunches.
*
Opportunity to build a career in a prestigious and technically challenging environment.
If you’re an Electrical Engineer ready to step into a supervisory, project-led role where your expertise shapes high-profile work, we’d love to hear from you
