If you enjoy taking a power generation or battery storage project from a single-line diagram through to a design that can be built on site, this role gives you the chance to do just that.
We’re recruiting an Electrical Design Engineer to design LV and HV systems for new power generation and battery energy storage (BESS) projects, as well as upgrades to existing installations. You’ll work with project teams, clients, equipment suppliers and distribution network operators, with site visits to review progress and update as-built drawings.
What you’ll be doing
- Design LV and HV generation and distribution networks, including earthing, protection and grid connection requirements.
- Develop DC designs for battery storage systems and work with battery and inverter suppliers.
- Produce single-line diagrams, cable schedules, earthing layouts, protection settings and functional design specifications.
- Specify switchgear, transformers and other electrical equipment, and review supplier drawings and control panel schematics.
- Use AutoCAD for electrical drawings and Trimble/Amtech for cable sizing.
What we’re looking for
- An HND in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent qualification.
- At least five years’ electrical engineering experience in power generation construction projects, with hands-on electrical design work.
- Proficiency in AutoCAD and experience using Trimble/Amtech.
- A full driving licence and willingness to visit project sites.
Experience with protection relays, generator controllers or PLCs would be an advantage.
