About You * Degree or HNC/HND in Electrical Engineering. * Experience in regulated or technically complex environments: Oil & Gas, Defence, Rail, Energy, Data Centres or major construction. * Strong project delivery or supervisory experience — ideal for PMs wanting to return to hands‑on engineering. * Understanding of safety‑critical or quality‑focused environments. * Comfortable working within large project structures and engaged multidisciplinary teams. Working Pattern & Locations * First 6–9 months based in Bristol (Aztec West / Warmley). * Transitioning to the Somerset construction site thereafter. * 9‑day fortnight or standard 5‑day week available.
