EET (Essar Energy Transition) vision is to be the leading producer of low carbon fuels and establish a blueprint energy transition hub in the North West. EET plays a major role in supplying the Northwest and the wider UK with essential fuels. We produce over 16% of the UK’s road transport fuels, supply key feed stocks to the petrochemical industry, and are investing heavily in low‑carbon energy solutions.

We work with major retail fuel brands, supermarkets, Manchester Airport, leading airlines, and regional transport operators. We are also a key partner in the HyNet project, helping to deliver the region’s low‑carbon future.

With over 900 skilled colleagues, we offer a strong safety culture, technically challenging work, and some of the best training in the energy sector.

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to join our Project Assurance Team. In this role, you will provide technical assurance for HV and LV electrical aspects of Cap Ex projects of varying scale across a Top Tier COMAH site. You’ll work closely with internal and external stakeholders, design teams both in the UK and overseas, and with a variety of EPC contractors to ensure that all electrical engineering deliverables are fully compliant with statutory requirements, industry standards, and technical specifications, while safely and efficiently supporting project delivery from concept through to commissioning.
