Access Talent Group are currently recruiting for a Civil Engineering SME to lead the delivery of Infrastructure or non-infrastructure water sector projects across the UK.
We are looking for a Lead Design EICA Engineer To design, specify and support electrical, instrumentation, control and automation systems for water / wastewater / utilities / infrastructure projects. Working across project stages — from early design through to commissioning, handover and maintenance — ensuring safe, compliant, efficient operation of assets.
Responsibilities
- Develop electrical system designs: single-line diagrams, distribution layouts, load schedules, protection/coordination studies, earthing/grounding, cable sizing.
- Specify electrical equipment: switchgear, transformers, LV/MV panels, motor control centres (MCC), control panels, distribution boards, etc.
- Design control & instrumentation interfaces: PLCs, SCADA/automation systems, field instrumentation, telemetry, power supplies.
- Carry out electrical load calculations, fault-level and short-circuit analysis, coordination studies, harmonic/power-quality studies (if required).
- Prepare technical specifications, procurement documentation, vendor evaluations and scopes-of-work for subcontractors.
- Support site-based activities: site surveys, construction supervision, installation, commissioning and handover; troubleshoot and resolve electrical/control system issues during build and operation.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (mechanical, civil, process, control & instrumentation, contractors, external stakeholders) to ensure integrated design and delivery.
- Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations and safety legislation (e.g. BS/IEC standards, low-/medium-voltage regulations, utility interfacing requirements, UK regulatory compliance).
- Contribute to cost estimation, risk assessment, change control and document management through project lifecycle.
About you
- Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Electrical / Electronic / Control / Instrumentation Engineering (or related discipline).
- Ideally Chartered (or working towards) status with a recognised UK professional body (e.g. IET) — but Nuvion may consider experienced engineers working toward chartership.
- Proven experience in electrical design, power distribution, protection, control & instrumentation — ideally within infrastructure, utilities, water, wastewater or industrial sectors.
- Good knowledge of LV/MV electrical systems and utility interface requirements.
- Experience using design / analysis tools (e.g. ETAP, SKM, AutoCAD/Revit, Dialux) to produce technical drawings and schematics.
- Strong problem-solving and fault-finding skills, including ability for site-based troubleshooting.
- Good communication, reporting, and stakeholder-engagement skills; ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver to deadlines.
- Full UK driving licence and access to a car (due to site travel requirements).
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Professional development support (including pathways to chartership).
- Flexible working arrangements / remote-or-hybrid working depending on project needs.
- Exposure to impactful infrastructure/water-sector projects with opportunity for growth and progression.
