Shape the LV Electrical Engineering across the whole of High Speed Two

Are you an Electrical Engineer looking for the opportunity to work on one of Europe's largest infrastructure programmes?

Do you have strong LV electrical experience from building services, infrastructure or another complex engineering environment, and want to use that expertise across a major rail programme?

High Speed Two Ltd is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to join its central M&E Engineering team, no rail experience necessaey.

This is a broad technical and delivery focused role, initially working across the M&E fit out of approximately 37 shafts, portals and Head Houses along the HS2 route.

These are highly complex underground and above ground assets, with electrical systems needing to integrate with mechanical services, ventilation, pumping, controls, communications and the wider railway.

You will work closely with the Main Works Civils contractors, providing technical input, assurance and challenge from design through construction and into commissioning.

The role will then move onto HS2's M&E Systemwide programme, working across the wider railway route. The Systemwide scope includes the provision of LV electrical systems across the HS2 line of route, including:
Electrical distribution, Lighting, Distribution boards, Building Management System controls, Associated LV electrical infrastructure

This gives the role an unusually broad project lifecycle and route wide perspective, with the opportunity to develop from asset based M&E delivery into programme wide electrical engineering.

You will provide senior electrical engineering support across design and delivery, working as part of a multidisciplinary M&E team.

The role is suitable for either an experienced Electrical Project Engineer or a Senior/Principal Discipline / Design Engineer with strong project delivery experience.

You will review contractor designs and technical submissions, provide technical assurance, resolve engineering issues and ensure electrical systems meet HS2 requirements, standards and operational needs.

A key part of the role is understanding how electrical systems interface with other disciplines and managing technical change throughout delivery.

You will need the technical confidence to challenge proposals where necessary and the practical judgement to develop solutions that can actually be delivered on site.

• Provide electrical engineering expertise across HS2 M&E packages and assets.
• Review and assure contractor designs, technical submissions and construction proposals.
• Provide technical input on LV distribution, switchboards, lighting, cable management and associated electrical systems.
• Support technical assurance through design, construction, testing and commissioning.
• Respond to technical queries and resolve electrical engineering issues with contractors and delivery teams.
• Manage electrical interfaces with mechanical, civil, control and other engineering disciplines.
• Support technical change, including Early Warnings and Compensation Events, assessing impacts on cost, programme and delivery.
• Undertake site inspections and provide construction stage technical assurance.
• Support the development and consistent application of electrical requirements, standards and specifications.
• Work with wider HS2 engineering…
