Graduate Electrical Engineer - Birmingham

Flexible hybrid working arrangements available
Kick-start your career in building services design with a forward-thinking consultancy delivering landmark projects across multiple sectors. This is an opportunity to learn from experienced engineers, develop technical expertise, and grow into a highly capable, well-rounded electrical engineer.

About the Company

You'll join a dynamic MEP consultancy based in Birmingham, specialising in practical, low-carbon design solutions across commercial, residential, healthcare, education, and heritage sectors. They are renowned for:

Delivering innovative, pragmatic solutions that balance sustainability with cost-effectiveness.
Upholding core values of integrity, honesty, and trust in all client and team interactions.
Fostering a culture where learning, mentorship, and professional growth are actively encouraged.

Key Responsibilities

As a Graduate Electrical Engineer, you will:

Support senior engineers throughout all stages of project delivery—from pre-planning and concept design to detailed design, construction, commissioning, and handover.
Develop and refine electrical design elements including:

HV/LV distribution systems
Power generation and life-safety systems
General, emergency, and external lighting
IT/data infrastructure
Access, security, fire-alarm, and lightning protection systems

Contribute to low-carbon and sustainable design initiatives, energy consultancy, and pre-design analysis.
Participate in site activities such as reviewing contractor submissions, witnessing tests, commissioning, snagging, and as-built documentation.
Apply BIM Level 2 methodologies and CAD tools to coordinate MEP systems, detect clashes, and produce 3D modelling deliverables.
Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver projects in alignment with RIBA stages 0-7.

Who You Are

A recent graduate or early-career engineer with a degree in Electrical, Building Services, or a related discipline.
Curious, proactive, and committed to continuous learning.
Passionate about sustainable, low-carbon design and delivering high-quality engineering solutions.
Strong problem-solver who can translate theory into practical applications.
Effective communicator and team player, capable of thriving in dynamic environments.
Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit, or BIM processes is desirable.

Learning & Development Opportunities

Mentorship from Chartered engineers with decades of industry experience.
Exposure to a broad range of sectors: Healthcare, Education, Commercial, Residential, Heritage, Life Sciences, Defence, and more.
Hands-on experience across the full project lifecycle—concept to completion.
Opportunity to contribute to low-carbon and sustainable engineering projects.
Support to achieve professional development goals, including progression toward Chartered Engineer status.

Why This Role Stands Out

Be part of a values-driven, collaborative team where your contributions directly impact project outcomes.
Gain early responsibility and real-world experience on exciting and high-profile projects.
Work in a culture that rewards curiosity, innovation, and personal excellence.
Build a career where both your personal growth and the success of the business are valued.
This role is perfect for a self-motivated graduate eager to develop into a technically skilled, forward-thinking electrical engineer. If you are ambitious, passionate, and ready to learn from industry experts, this could be your next career step
