About the Company

This is an opportunity to join a family-founded business, now operating at national scale, specialising in security and automation solutions for the Utilities sector. With strong, long-term partnerships in place, the company delivers complex, high-value security projects across electrical substations, fencing, CCTV, and access control systems.

With the agility of a close-knit team and the backing of a major national group, they're growing fast—and looking for experienced professionals ready to grow with them.

The Role: Project Engineer

As a Project Engineer, you'll play a critical leadership role in delivering complex security projects across the UK. While not a hands-on installation role, you'll need to be technically strong and capable of rolling your sleeves up when needed to support and guide teams on-site.

You'll oversee multiple enterprise-level projects—ensuring the highest standards of quality, compliance, and documentation are met throughout. You'll liaise directly with clients, coordinate subcontractors and engineers, and ensure all works are delivered on time and within spec.

This is a great opportunity for someone with strong electrical site experience (especially in utilities and National Grid environments) who wants to step into a more strategic, leadership-focused role while staying close to the technical detail.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the delivery of security and automation projects across utility sites
• Ensure all work meets quality, safety, and compliance standards
• Maintain project documentation, reporting, and client communication
• Support teams with technical guidance, problem-solving, and site coordination
• Collaborate with clients and stakeholders to ensure expectations are met
• Manage your own diary and workload, particularly in the England-based role

What We're Looking For

• Strong background in electrical engineering and on-site experience
• Previous experience working on utility infrastructure – ideally National Grid sites
• Proven experience in managing or overseeing technical projects
• Ability to read, interpret, and produce technical documentation
• Confident communicator with excellent organisational skills
• Willingness to travel, with flexibility to stay away when required
• Full UK Driving Licence (Electric company car provided)

Why Join Us?

• £45,000 – £50,000 salary DOE
• Electric company car + fuel card
• Paid travel time
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Clear path for progression into senior roles
• Ongoing training & support from a technically strong team
• Work on critical infrastructure projects with national impact
• Join a company that values your input and invests in your growth

Ready to Step Up?

If you're a technically experienced professional looking to move into a project-focused role, where you can make an impact without stepping too far away from the tools, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now or contact Courtney Gilgunn for more information.
