Introduction

Our client, a leading name in the power utilities sector, is on the lookout for an Electrical Design Engineer to join their team! In this role, you'll be designing and delivering electrical utility connections for the E-mobility and Industrial sectors, playing a key part in shaping the future of energy. The company specializes in LV and 11kV grid connections, giving you the chance to work on impactful projects in a growing industry. Ready to make a difference?

What will I be doing?

• Design and Engineering: Produce electrical designs for DNO/IDNO/Private networks, including cable calculations, earthing systems, HV substation layouts, and single-line diagrams.
• Technical Documentation: Create bills of quantities, prepare technical reports, and manage design approvals with UK DNOs/IDNOs.
• Project Coordination: Oversee engineering design, liaise with clients, external consultancies, and manufacturers, and ensure equipment suitability.
• Compliance & Risk Management: Ensure designs comply with Electricity at Work, H&S, ESQCR, and CDM regulations, while identifying and mitigating risks.
• Project Leadership: Lead projects from start to handover, support the Project Delivery Team, manage design changes, and maintain project timelines.
• Environmental & Safety Compliance: Prepare H&S documentation, risk assessments, and sustainability reports.
• Estimating & Reporting: Support the estimating process and provide regular progress updates.

What do I need to succeed?

We're after someone with at least an HNC in Electrical Engineering and hands-on experience designing LV to 33kV projects. Experience with HV substation designs to DNO/IDNO specs? Even better! A solid grasp of British Standards and G81 is essential, and AutoCAD proficiency is a must. If you've worked with Amtech, Revit, or CDEGS, that's a bonus but not a dealbreaker!

What's in it for me?

This role offers a salary of up to £60,000 per year, a Monday-to-Friday schedule (40 hours per week), and the flexibility of hybrid working (just one day in the office per month!). You'll also get a company vehicle or allowance, a pension plan, bonus scheme, Health Shield coverage, and even share save options because your hard work should come with great perks!
