Job Description
Electrical Project Engineer / Heavy Process Industry / Contract (Outside IR35) / Runcorn
Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer with a background in low voltage power distribution projects? If so, this could be an excellent opportunity for you.
I'm currently working with a leading manufacturer based in the North West, operating in a highly regulated environment. They’re in the middle of a major site-wide HV/LV infrastructure upgrade and are looking for an Electrical Project Engineer to join the team and provide technical leadership on a range of LV (415v) substation component upgrades. If you have both HV and LV experience, great! However, the driver for this role is the LV element.
About the Role:
This is a hands-on, cradle-to-grave project engineering role where you’ll be involved in all phases of the upgrade, including:
* Design review and modifications
* Vendor liaison and specification
* Technical documentation
* Contractor and budget management
* Site commissioning and project close-out
Experience in highly regulated industries such as ATEX or COMAH environments is advantageous, but the client is also open to reviewing candidates from broader heavy industry backgrounds (e.g., utilities, energy, manufacturing, etc.).
Key Details:
* Location: North West England
* Rate: Up to £57.50 per hour (Outside IR35), depending on experience
* Duration: Initial 12-month contract with strong potential to extend a further 6–12 months
* Start Date: Immediate start available
* Flexible working arrangement
Ideal Candidate:
* Degree-qualified in Electrical Engineering (preferred)
* OR HNC/HND with 8–10+ years of relevant project experience
* Strong background in LV electrical systems and infrastructure upgrades
* Confident managing full project lifecycle and working with multi-disciplinary teams – Project Management qualification advantageous but not essential if equivalent experience can be demonstrated.
If you're looking for a long-term, well-compensated opportunity within a highly technical and rewarding environment, this role could be a great fit.
