The Opportunity

You’ll join Strategic Estates’ Property Asset Strategy team, the in-house specialists who safeguard the quality, safety and performance of engineering assets across the Palace of Westminster, Portcullis House and a diverse mix of heritage and modern buildings.

In this role, you’ll act as a technical watchdog and trusted advisor: inspecting work on site, assuring standards, witnessing testing and commissioning, and supporting project leaders to deliver compliant, high-quality electrical and building-services installations.

Your work will directly influence how the Estate refurbishes historic buildings, replaces ageing infrastructure, and maintains resilience across a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• Reviewing designs, specifications and contractor submissions before and during construction

• Witnessing testing, commissioning, IST and FAT activities

• Providing technical assurance to project leaders and NEC supervisors

• Reviewing O&M documentation and ensuring accurate digital records

• Monitoring programmes, flagging defects early and helping keep work on track

• Supporting the development of commissioning standards and technical guidelines

What you’ll bring

• A Level 3 qualification in an electrical engineering discipline (HNC/HND desirable)

• Strong site-based experience in building services engineering, Clerk of Works roles or installation supervision

• Confident reviewing contractor designs and monitoring works for quality and compliance

• Experience with Common Data Environments and digital document control

• Clear communicator who adapts style for different audiences and stakeholders

• Comfortable working in complex, multi-stakeholder environments and occupied buildings

• Professional membership (IET, CIBSE, IMechE) and NEC3 Supervisor accreditation are advantageous

Why Parliament?

Working within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you’ll help shape the future of some of the UK’s most recognisable buildings. Expect:

• Hybrid working (role-dependent)

• Flexible patterns including part-time, job-share and compressed hours

• Structured development, mentoring and training

• A supportive and inclusive culture aligned with Parliament’s values

• Exposure to capital projects, refurbishment works and long-term engineering programmes
