Specialist Engineer in Warwick

About The Role

This is the time for action - we need to move at pace and reform our energy system - to deliver energy security, to tackle climate change and to protect our people. We are looking for an experienced engineer with a strong technical engineering background coupled with robust analytical skills to support the design and development of the electricity transmission network of the future. This role is targeted at an individual who is focused on applying practical engineering judgement which will be informed by prior operational, asset, or design experience, rather than a detailed power system study practitioner. You will join National Grid and work closely with power system experts, supporting key power system decision making through technically robust analysis, engineering insight, and challenge. Your role is to connect system-level power considerations with practical project development and delivery, asset capability, operability, and deliverability. The role sits at the interface between analytical assessment and practical engineering delivery. You will translate expert technical direction into clear, usable engineering outputs that support investment, design, and development decisions across the onshore and offshore transmission network in England and Wales. You will be at the forefront of delivering the network that will help to decarbonize a nation and help to leave our planet in a state where future generations can thrive. This role is based in our Warwick office for at least one day per week, with hybrid working.
