Our multi-discipline UK Power team is an established, industry-leading capability, bringing together high-voltage specialists with deep experience across transmission and distribution networks. We partner with some of the most recognised organisations in the UK energy sector, delivering innovative, resilient and sustainable engineering solutions to complex, nationally significant infrastructure challenges. By combining proven technical excellence with a client-first philosophy, we support the safe, compliant and efficient delivery of HV infrastructure that underpins the UK’s energy transition.
Our High Voltage team is well-established and continues to play a key role in the delivery of major UK transmission and distribution programmes, supporting clients across the full project lifecycle. As demand for resilient, future-ready networks continues to grow, we are further strengthening this capability to support an expanding portfolio of work across the UK.
We are keen to connect with engineering professionals interested in joining a highly regarded, forward-thinking UK Power team, delivering critical HV infrastructure projects nationwide. We would particularly welcome conversations with professionals experienced in:
- High Voltage substation design and delivery (AIS / GIS, new build and refurbishment)
- HV underground cable systems – design and project delivery (transmission and distribution)
- Civil and Structural Engineering within the UK T&D sector (substations, cable routes, enabling works)
- Overhead Lines – structural, mechanical, electrical design and project delivery (132kV to 400kV)
While we have a strong and established team in place, we also have clear medium- to long-term growth plans aligned to the UK’s energy investment pipeline. The right role may not be available immediately; however, we welcome early conversations with individuals whose skills align with our future needs.
This is an opportunity to join a market-leading capability, contributing to complex, high-profile projects while helping shape how we continue to evolve, innovate and deliver excellence across the UK power sector. Whether you are an experienced HV specialist, a project or technical leader, or earlier in your career looking to develop within a recognised power consultancy, we would love to hear from you.
