Responsibilities:

• Design HV electrical networks from 33kV to 132kV
• Carry out power systems analysis, including load flow, fault level and system studies
• Use industry-standard software such as DIgSILENT PowerFactory and/or PSCAD
• Review, check, and approve HV designs and engineering reports
• Lead technical meetings and liaise directly with clients and stakeholders
• Provide technical guidance and mentor junior engineers
• Ensure designs comply with UK standards, DNO requirements, and best practice

Requirements:

• Proven experience in the design and analysis of HV networks in the UK, covering connections, substations, control and protection etc
• Strong technical knowledge at 33kV, with experience up to 132kV
• Experience using power systems analysis tools (e.g. DIgSILENT, PSCAD)
• Ability to communicate confidently with clients and lead technical discussions
• Experience checking designs and producing high-quality engineering reports
• Background working for a consultancy or ICP (the latter with experience at at minimum of 33kV)
• Experience integrating renewable energy projects (wind, solar, BESS, etc.)
