Electrical Engineer - Infrastructure

DescriptionFuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.The Electrical Engineer owns the primary and secondary electrical design of utility-scale BESS and Solar PV projects within Fuse’s EPC function in the UK. You will independently produce and review design packages, coordinate the electrical interfaces with PCS suppliers, BESS OEMs, SCADA and protection systems, and mentor junior engineers. Your designs need to be safe, compliant, buildable and accepted by the DNO.Responsibilities we will trust you with:Primary DesignIndependently prepare and review electrical drawings and design packages for utility-scale BESS and Solar PV projectsDevelop HV/MV single-line diagrams (SLDs)Develop substation layouts and equipment arrangementsSize switchgear, transformers and busbarsSize and route cablesDesign earthing and lightning protectionPrepare equipment specificationsCarry out or review studies: load flow, protection co-ordination, insulation co-ordination and overvoltageSecondary DesignDevelop protection and control schematicsDesign AC/DC auxiliary systemsDevelop protection relay configurations and interlocking logicSize CTs and VTs and design protection circuitsDesign metering, control and indication circuitsProduce cable schedules, termination drawings and wiring diagramsProduce interface drawings and I/O schedulesInterfaces and CoordinationCoordinate electrical design interfaces with PCS, BESS OEMs, SCADA and protection systemsCoordinate with external consultants, OEMs and EPC contractorsRespond to RFIs, TQs and site queries on the electrical designResolve technical design issues and maintain engineering quality throughout project deliveryQuality and CompliancePerform internal design checks before issueEnsure compliance with applicable IEC, IEEE and UK standards, including DNO requirements, G99, the Grid Code and ENA Engineering RecommendationsMeet designer duties under CDM 2015, including design risk assessmentsTeam DevelopmentGuide and mentor junior electrical engineers in design developmentReview and sign off their work to a consistent standardRequirements5+ years in electrical design within power, utilities or renewable energy, with utility-scale BESS and/or Solar PV experienceProven ability to design independently, with hands-on primary and secondary design experienceStrong knowledge of HV/MV substation design, protection and control, earthing and cable sizingExperience with load flow, protection co-ordination, insulation co-ordination and overvoltage studiesStrong knowledge of IEC and IEEE standards and UK grid requirements (DNO, G99, Grid Code)Experience coordinating design interfaces with PCS, BESS OEMs, SCADA and protection systemsExperience working with consultants, OEMs and EPC contractorsExperience mentoring or guiding junior engineersStrong written and verbal communicationNice to haveChartered or Incorporated status (CEng or IEng, MIET)SCADA and plant control design experienceProficiency in design and study tools (AutoCAD, ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory)Experience with DNO or IDNO design acceptanceExperience supporting commissioning and energisationBenefitsCompetitive salary and eligibility for equityBiannual bonus schemeFully expensed tech to match your needsPrivate health insuranceBreakfast and dinner allowance for office-based employeesAs we hire globally, benefits vary by location.Job SummaryID: 070D7B877DDepartment:Type: full time
