Specification Engineer North West & Yorkshire

Mission:

To drive Schneider Electric specification growth across the North West and Yorkshire, by influencing consulting engineers, end users, contractors, and key project stakeholders so that Schneider Electric solutions are designed, specified, and retained through procurement and project delivery.

The Specification Engineer is responsible for creating high-quality, technically robust specifications, expanding Schneider Electric's share of wallet across the full portfolio, and positioning Schneider Electric as a trusted technical partner for safe, sustainable, digital, and intelligent electrical infrastructure.

This is a senior, customer-facing technical role that requires the credibility to advise consulting engineers, the commercial awareness to identify and shape opportunities, and the persistence to influence complex projects over extended design and procurement cycles.

+ Develop and execute consultant account plans across Premier+, strategic, and priority regional design firms within North West & Yorkshire.
+ Build trusted relationships with consulting engineers, technical directors, design managers, end users, contractors, and other project influencers.
+ Influence project designs from concept and early-stage planning through detailed design, tender, procurement, and delivery to maximise Schneider Electric specification content and retention.
+ Create, develop, and manage a high-quality, full width-of-wallet project pipeline across Schneider Electric products, systems, software, and services.
+ Improve the technical quality, clarity, and defensibility of specifications to increase project conversion and reduce the risk of substitution.
+ Provide pre-sales technical guidance, application support, and solution recommendations across low-voltage power distribution, protection, metering, energy management, digital power, building systems, and associated software solutions.
+ Act as a subject matter expert and primary technical point of contact for assigned consultant accounts and major project opportunities.
+ Support customers with design reviews, system architecture, product selection, standards compliance, specification development, and solution optimisation.
+ Deliver CPD presentations, technical workshops, seminars, product updates, and thought-leadership sessions to varied technical audiences.
+ Collaborate with Key Account Managers, contractor-facing teams, end-user teams, marketing, channel partners, and specialist business units to create coordinated account and project strategies.
+ Maintain visibility of major projects and market activity across the region, identifying opportunities early enough to influence the design.
+ Drive adoption of Schneider Electric digital engineering, specification, sustainability, and software tools where relevant to the customer and project.
