About the Role

Based at our head office in Godalming, Surrey, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers on Life Sciences and Pharmaceutical projects.

• Work collaboratively with engineers, designers and wider project teams

• Provide technical input to support procurement, estimating and cost planning

• Undertake site visits and surveys, assist with design queries and carry out quality checks

• Help ensure designs are safe, compliant and of a high standard, while identifying opportunities to improve how we work

You will be

• A graduate with a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline

• Experienced in the workplace having spent at least a year working in an electrical engineering role on industrial placement or since graduating

• Familiar with relevant design software, such as Amtech, Relux, DIALux, AutoCAD or Revit

• A problem-solver who can explain complex ideas simply

• Proactive, with bags of initiative and enjoy working as part of a team

• Keen to keep learning and progress towards chartership

Why Join Scitech-EKIUM?
