• Design, develop and test robust algorithms for power system analysis, optimisation and planning.
• Analyse network, operational and time‑series data to validate models, identify opportunities for improvement and troubleshoot issues.
• Act as a subject matter expert on UK electricity distribution networks within multidisciplinary project teams.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers and data scientists to translate engineering methodologies into scalable solutions.
• Engage with customers to understand their challenges and help define effective technical solutions.
• Clearly communicate technical concepts, methodologies and recommendations to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Manage priorities across multiple projects and adapt effectively to changing business needs.

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Electrical Power Systems, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering or a related numerate discipline.
• Strong understanding of electricity distribution networks, electrical load behaviour and the modelling of time‑series demand and distributed generation.
• Experience performing power system studies such as load flow, fault level, switching or transient analysis.
• Strong analytical, mathematical and statistical problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to develop creative solutions to complex engineering challenges.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Power Systems, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Industry experience within power systems engineering.
• Strong understanding of UK electricity distribution networks across EHV, HV and LV systems.
• Experience with power system modelling and simulation tools such as PandaPower, PowerFactory, NEPLAN, IPSA, PSCAD or WinDebut.
• Knowledge of network planning and operational challenges relating to distributed energy resources and large‑scale connections.
• Familiarity with relevant UK industry standards, Engineering Recommendations (ERECs) and the UK Distribution Code.
• Python programming experience.
• Experience working with sampled data and signal processing techniques.
• Understanding of software development practices and version control systems such as Git or SVN.

What Makes You Successful

You'll thrive in this role if you are:

• Curious and motivated by solving challenging technical problems.
• Detail‑oriented, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Comfortable working independently as well as collaborating within cross‑functional teams.
• Passionate about delivering high‑quality work and continuous improvement.
