Electrical Design Manager

The Opportunity

Our client, an established M&E engineering specialist based in Warrington, is looking for an Electrical Design Manager to lead their electrical design function.

A leadership role, not a senior designer's job with a manager's title. If what you want is to keep being the one drawing, this is the wrong move.

The work is electrical design for industrial, food and drink, FMCG and pharmaceutical projects. Designing into a production environment is a different discipline from designing an office block. The installation has to survive washdown, sit correctly within a hygiene regime, and stay maintainable inside a plant that cannot be stopped for long. Those constraints shape a design from concept rather than being worked around at the end of it.

This is a permanent role in Warrington, £70,000 to £80,000 depending on experience, plus a full benefits package.
