About the role


We have a brand-new opportunity for an Electrical Engineer to join our team based in our Cardiff office and work as part of the largest independent consulting engineering firm of its kind. Joining at an exciting period in the Hoare Lea Cardiff journey, in our new City Centre Office.


Cardiff itself is a thriving and dynamic creative capital city with a rich cultural heritage, as well as ambitious future plans in terms of growth as well as a blueprint to become a carbon-neutral city in the next 10 years.


You will join a talented, dynamic, and diverse team of designers, engineers, and technical specialists with a unique working culture. Our team is large enough to work on large national and international schemes yet agile enough to allow significant talent growth and career progression.


As an Engineer, you will be responsible for the design delivery of significant and complex engineering projects.

  • Produce calculations, reports and specifications with good written communication skills.
  • Attend DTMs/client meetings and site inspections.
