If you are on the tools as an Electrician and are looking for an opportunity to move into a design office near Blackburn, this is the only opportunity to look at. This business has a proven ability of turning Electricians into design engineers, the Director himself came through this route, and he is keen to offer the opportunity for another Electrician to move into consulting engineering.
The businesses reputation is solid, they are known for producing high quality Building Services Designs and you can expect that they will give the same attention to detail to your career as you will no doubt have to take a pay cut and therefore a step back before you can take 2 forward in the future.
You are not joining a new team; in fact, you would be joining a very established one as all of their staff have long tenure and you would all share the common trait that each of you went through an Electrical apprenticeship on the tools before stepping into Design.
Projects are mostly local with some national work. You can expect a wide range of projects to work on. Anything from a new build college to a food production facility. The sectors they work in are wide ranging which offers a great opportunity to learn for a Junior Engineer.
You might think that you need a roster of qualifications for this opportunity, but you don't. Electrical Installation NVQ's and 18th Edition will suffice along with time spent on the tools working on the construction of Buildings. They understand that the knowledge gained from years spent onsite is significant. They will teach you everything from learning to use AutoCAD to cable calculations and equipment selection so you will need to be keen to learn, and of course, any experience of design that you have already would be a bonus.
The company has always been a great training provider and sending engineers to college or other higher education is part of the job - this is something that you can enjoy and benefit from too, if you want to. Your on-the-job learning will be unrivalled as you will work alongside and learn from very capable engineers every single day.
