Our Client is seeking a Junior Electrical Engineer to join them on an initial 6 months contract (with the possibility of extension/ a permanent position workload dependant).

About the Client:

Our Client is a small, growing and ambitious engineering firm. They work across multiple sectors, including: building services, pharmaceuticals, Water/ wastewater, defence, and waste to energy.

About you:

The role will suit someone who is happy to work independently as well as within a small team. This is a great learning opportunity to gain valuable first-hand experience, our client isn't looking for someone to come in and 'hit the ground running', they are prepared and happy to train you on the job. This would suit someone who is not scared to get stuck in but equally happy and confident enough to ask questions when something doesn't make sense.

You might have a degree in Electrical Engineering, or you might have studied at HNC level or completed a diploma/apprenticeship - we are open to any level or electrical qualification.

About the role:

  • Develop electrical drawings, general arrangements, layouts and supporting documentation according to scopes provided by the business

  • Liaise with senior engineers to handover and complete works ready for signoff and submission to clients and commissioning agencies

  • Develop and build own knowledge and expertise in line with business requirements

    This role would initially require more of an office base until training has been completed. At this point, a hybrid working setup would be introduced.

    Only those with the right to work in the UK can apply for this position.

This change reflects a broader truth: biotechnology doesn’t happen in isolation. It impacts people’s health, the environment, food supply & society at large. That means careers in biotech now require more than scientific knowledge — they demand legal awareness, ethical reasoning, patient empathy, clear communication, and user-centred design.
