Electrical Project Engineer – Major Commercial Scheme - Paddington

The Project

We are working in partnership with a leading MEP contractor to appoint an Electrical Project Engineer for a flagship commercial development in Paddington.

The scheme comprises an 18-storey new build commercial office, delivering high-quality shell & core alongside CAT A fit out, with a total MEP value of approximately £35M.

This is a technically complex, high-profile project involving:

• Large-scale electrical infrastructure and distribution
• High-spec commercial office environments
• Multi-floor coordination across shell & core and fit out phases
• Early contractor involvement and pre-construction input

The Company

Our client is a well-established MEP contractor with a strong track record delivering major commercial schemes across London.

They operate on complex projects typically ranging from £10M–£50M MEP value, offering a structured environment, strong leadership and clear progression pathways.

The Role

This is a hybrid pre-construction and delivery role, offering exposure from early-stage planning through to project completion.

As Electrical Project Engineer, you will support both the pre-construction phase and the on-site delivery, working closely with the Project Manager and wider commercial and technical teams,

Pre-Construction Responsibilities

• Supporting development of programmes and sequencing of works
• Assisting with value engineering and design optimisation
• Procurement of plant, materials and subcontract packages
• Reviewing technical submissions, drawings and specifications
• Liaising with design teams and consultants to resolve technical queries

Delivery Responsibilities

• Coordinating electrical works across multiple floors
• Managing subcontractors and specialist suppliers
• Tracking progress against programme and reporting updates
• Ensuring compliance with H&S and QA requirements
• Supporting commissioning, snagging and handover

This role offers genuine end-to-end project exposure, rather than being limited to site delivery only.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a well-rounded Electrical Project Engineer with:

• Experience across pre-construction and/or delivery phases
• Background in commercial new build or large-scale fit out projects
• Experience working on MEP packages (£10M+)
• Strong understanding of electrical building services systems
• Ability to engage with design, procurement and site teams
• A proactive, commercially aware and solutions-driven approach

Why Join

• Involvement from pre-construction through to completion
• Work on a major £35M MEP commercial scheme
• Exposure to both technical and commercial aspects of delivery
• Strong platform for progression into Senior Engineer / Project Manager roles
• Long-term pipeline of high-value London projects

Summary

This is an excellent opportunity for an Electrical Project Engineer to take on a broader role within a major commercial scheme, gaining valuable experience across both pre-construction and delivery phases.
