Electrical Asset Integrity Manager – Offshore Wind – Edinburgh

Eden Scott are pleased to be supporting their Offshore Wind Developer client with the appointment of an Electrical Asset Integrity Manager to join them in their Edinburgh office on a permanent basis.

The role is offered on a hybrid basis with employees typically spending 1 day per week in the Edinburgh if not local. There will be sporadic travel to the O&M bases in Scotland.

Reporting to the Head of Asset Integrity within the Asset Management function, the business requires an Electrical Asset Integrity Manager to ensure the effective and efficient delivery of all electrical engineering work scopes across offshore wind assets.

This role is responsible for defining, implementing, and maintaining asset integrity strategies for high-voltage electrical systems throughout the operational lifecycle. You will provide technical leadership, interface management, and engineering assurance for high‑voltage electrical systems, ensuring safe, compliant, and commercially sound delivery.

The role will interface closely with asset integrity, operations, HSE, supply chain, and external service providers and will span multiple offshore wind assets.

• Develop, implement, and maintain asset integrity strategies for electrical systems including offshore and onshore substations, export and array cables, and associated HV equipment.
• Act as the electrical asset integrity technical authority, ensuring compliance with statutory, regulatory, and company requirements.
• Define integrity management plans, inspection regimes, condition monitoring strategies, and performance standards for electrical assets.
• Provide engineering assurance over inspection, maintenance, repair, and modification activities affecting electrical systems.
• Interface with operations, OEMs, and service providers to ensure effective execution of asset integrity activities.
• Review and approve technical documentation including inspection reports, condition assessments, defect evaluations, and repair scopes.
• Support failure investigations, root cause analysis, and defect management processes, ensuring lessons learned are captured and implemented.
• Identify degradation mechanisms and integrity risks, implementing mitigation measures proportionate to risk.
• Support life-extension assessments, obsolescence management, and long-term asset management planning.
• Provide input into budgets, expenditure forecasts, and integrity-related investment cases.
• Engage with certification bodies, insurers, and regulators as required to support continued asset compliance.
• Promote and embed a strong safety culture aligned with high-voltage electrical and offshore wind best practice.

• Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or demonstrable equivalent experience.
• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in electrical engineering roles with significant exposure to asset integrity, operations, or maintenance.
• Proven experience within offshore wind, high-voltage transmission, or large-scale power infrastructure.
• Chartered Engineer (CEng) status or working towards chartership preferred.
• Experience in operational asset management or life-cycle engineering is desirable.

• Electrical systems used in offshore wind, including HV AC systems typically in the 66kV–400kV range.
• Offshore and onshore substations, export and array cable systems, and electrical balance of plant.
• Asset integrity management principles, including inspection, monitoring, degradation assessment, and defect management.
• Relevant standards and guidance (e.g. IEC, BS, DNV) applicable to HV electrical assets.
• Knowledge of electrical safety rules, permit systems, and operational controls.
• Understanding of CDM Regulations and health, safety, and environmental best practice.
• Experience supporting operational assets, including interaction with control rooms, maintenance teams, and offshore personnel.
• Awareness of common offshore wind electrical failure modes and integrity threats.
• Knowledge of electrical protection, control, SCADA, and control room environments.
