Senior Electrical Engineer | Power Networks

Senior Electrical Engineer | HV/LV Power | Belfast | £50,000 to £65,000 If you are a chartered electrical engineer and want a strategic, client-side role instead of designing one project after another for someone else, this is one of the most interesting electrical roles in Northern Ireland right now. My client is a major Belfast organisation that manages a large, busy estate with significant HV and LV electrical infrastructure. They have ambitious long-term plans for growth, and the electrical infrastructure is central to making them happen. They're looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to be their electrical infrastructure lead. You'll shape how it develops, how energy is metered and managed, and how it supports the long-term plans for the estate. Why this opportunity? A genuine client-side role, leading the electrical infrastructure strategy for a large estate Long-term, strategic work tied to the organisation's future development plans The electrical lead on major capital projects, from design through to commissioning and handover A key role in energy management and cost reduction, with real influence on how the organisation uses power A financially independent organisation with a long-term outlook, offering stability without the civil service feel One of the strongest benefits packages in NI, including an excellent pension Your new role as Senior Electrical Engineer You'll be the organisation's electrical infrastructure expert, reporting to the Head of Engineering and Facilities and working as part of an integrated M&E team. You'll advise on the future of the estate's power supply and distribution, and keep an up-to-date picture of capacity and resilience to support future development. On capital projects, you'll lead the electrical side. That covers helping to prepare designs and tender documents, overseeing standards through construction, and making sure everything is handed over properly. You'll also manage and develop the electricity metering, supporting both billing and ISO 50001 energy management, and lead projects to reduce energy costs. You'll make sure HV and LV safety and statutory requirements run through everything the team does. You'll also manage project budgets and contribute to capital and operational budget planning. What you will need to succeed A degree in Electrical Engineering Chartered Engineer status At least five years' experience on design, engineering or infrastructure projects A strong understanding of HV and LV systems and electrical safety Experience of procurement, tender documents and conditions of contract An understanding of project and asset management Working knowledge of AutoCAD and Microsoft Office A full driving licence Experience on estate, campus or large infrastructure projects would be useful, however it isn't essential A project or asset management qualification would be a bonus This could suit a Senior Electrical Engineer in a consultancy or contractor who wants to move client-side, or an engineer from a utility or large estate who wants a broader, more strategic role. What's in it for you? Salary of £50,000 to £65,000, depending on experience An excellent pension Enhanced annual leave Hybrid and flexible working Life assurance A personal development budget Family friendly policies A benefits platform with health, wellbeing and retail discounts Free car parking and a subsidised canteen Not quite the right role?
