Join a business that has earned its reputation the right way.

Are you an experienced lighting professional who enjoys building relationships, developing lighting solutions, and seeing projects come to life from concept through to completion

We are looking for a commercially minded Lighting Design Engineer to join our growing team.

As a well-established family-run electrical wholesaler, we've become a trusted name across Scotland and Northern England by delivering exceptional service, expert advice and reliable supply to our customers.

We work with contractors, commercial organisations and industrial clients, providing a comprehensive range of electrical products and solutions to support projects of every size.

Unlike many competitors, we combine the agility and personal touch of an independent business with the scale and buying power of a larger national operation, giving customers access to competitive pricing, strong stock availability and outstanding service.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a strong background in lighting design who wants to take a more customer-facing role, working closely with contractors, consultants, end users, and specification partners across a diverse range of projects.

Unlike traditional electrical wholesale positions, this role focuses exclusively on professional lighting solutions, combining technical expertise, project development, and business growth within commercial, industrial, retail, residential and public-sector environments.

About the Lighting Design Engineer role:

You'll be responsible for developing lighting opportunities across your region, supporting customers with technically robust and energy-efficient lighting solutions while growing sales and strengthening customer relationships.

Working alongside an experienced internal support team, you'll spend much of your time meeting customers, conducting site visits, producing lighting schemes, and providing technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain relationships with electrical contractors, consultants, facilities managers, end users and specification partners.
• Carry out customer visits, site surveys and project consultations across the West of Scotland.
• Produce lighting layouts, calculations and proposals using Relux, Dialux or similar lighting design software.
• Deliver compliant, energy-efficient and commercially competitive lighting solutions.
• Provide technical support and product guidance across luminaires, emergency lighting, lighting controls and associated technologies.
• Identify and develop new project opportunities within the region.
• Work closely with internal sales, procurement and supplier partners to maximise business growth.
• Stay up to date with industry legislation, sustainability initiatives and emerging technologies.
• Support customers from initial enquiry through to project completion.

About You

We're keen to speak with candidates who combine technical lighting expertise with strong commercial awareness and a genuine passion for customer engagement.

Essential

• Previous experience within lighting design, lighting specification, project lighting sales, or technical lighting support.
• Strong understanding of lighting products, applications, standards and legislation.
• Experience using Relux, Dialux or equivalent lighting design software.
• Lighting Industry Association (LIA) qualifications.
• Lighting Federation Accreditation (LFA) and/or other recognised industry lighting qualifications.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities effectively.

It would be great if you had:

• Membership of the Institution of Lighting Professionals (ILP).
• Experience with lighting controls and smart lighting technologies.
• Knowledge of emergency lighting standards and energy-efficiency regulations.
