Own the design, from tender to constructionYou know how to get a 33kV design right. Now imagine owning it from the first tender submission to the final construction pack, on renewables projects that connect clean power to the grid.
This is a lead design role, not a seat at the back of the drawing office. You’ll shape the substations, the protection schemes and the cable routes, and you’ll see them built.
Why this roleRenewables connections are moving fast. Engineers who can both win the work and design it properly are rare, and here you do both.
- Your tender designs set the price and the approach
- Your technical judgement stays with the project all the way through delivery
- You’ll work with civil and structural designers, the estimating team and the DNOs and IDNOs, so your view carries weight in client meetings and design reviews
- Lead substation design: layout, protection and control, earthing and auxiliary systems
- Produce tender submissions for connections and the electrical infrastructure around them
- Run site assessments and feasibility studies for network extensions and reinforcements
- Draw SLDs, GA layouts, schematics and wiring diagrams in AutoCAD
- Prepare BOQs and cost estimates, then build construction design packs for delivery
- Keep every design to ENA, BS, IEC and DNO standards, and remove risk across the asset’s whole life
- A degree in Electrical Power Engineering (or an HNC/HND with extensive HV design experience)
- 3+ years in 33kV or higher design
- Proven substation, protection, earthing and auxiliary systems experience
- Strong AutoCAD
- Solid knowledge of HV plant
- Design submissions approved by DNOs/IDNOs
- A full UK driving licence
- Protection studies and earthing reports
- CEng or working towards it
- Experience in an ICP, utility contractor or IDNO environment
- £60k to £80k plus monthly car allowance
- Hybrid and flexible
- 35 days’ leave, plus up to 5 to buy
- 4pm finish on Fridays
- Bupa
- EV salary sacrifice
- Performance bonus
- Enhanced family policies
- Free on-site gym
- Discounts, long service awards, travel and subsistence
