Electrical Engineer

Oxford

Competitive salary + extensive benefits

Overview.

An opportunity has arisen for an Electrical Engineer to join our leading Engineering Consultancy, operating within our OMC cost centre (i.e., Oxford, Milton Keynes, and Cambridge) based in our Oxford Office.

Our Oxford office was established in 2007 to provide a local presence on our projects. Now with over 45 engineers and specialists, we have an abundance of expertise and knowledge that is regularly called upon throughout the firm, mainly within complex engineering sectors such as Science and Research and Healthcare.

As a young, vibrant and innovative office, culture is at the heart of everything that we do. We encourage and foster a collaborative working environment, which includes the widespread adoption of hybrid working and the option to work a 9-day fortnight.

Guided by our vision, we are passionate in our purpose to positively influence the balance between people and planet. We deliver high performing buildings which respond the challenges of climate change whilst creating spaces which meet the needs of modern living.

This is an exciting time to join Hoare Lea as we are focused on growth, both in the UK and overseas. We are large enough to provide stability and opportunity, and small enough to recognise our people as individuals; this has led to a culture of flexibility, autonomy, individualism, and organic growth.

Why work for us?

Hoare Lea is an award-winning engineering consultancy with a creative team of engineers, designers, and technical specialists. We provide innovative solutions to complex engineering and design challenges for buildings. Irrespective of the scale or complexity of a project, we provide a full range of MEP, environmental and sustainability services, bringing buildings to life and ensuring that they perform in operation as well as they look.

You’ll collaborate with the industry’s best, working in the UK’s largest MEP firm with a range of specialist teams, in an agile collaborative culture.

You’ll be part of progressive and exciting projects, able to experience innovative schemes across all sectors.

You’ll advance your career, your way, thanks to our approach to mentoring and development support network which is integral to our Career Paths Framework.
