Electrical Engineer

We have a fantastic opportunity for a detail driven Electrical Engineer (Hydrogen Plant – HV/LV, Asset Management & Reliability) to join our closeknit, dynamic team at N-Gen and act as the electrical technical authority for a new hydrogen facility. You’ll own Electrical Safety Rules and HV/LV authorisations, lead statutory compliance across EAWR and BS 7671, and embed hazardous area controls (DSEAR/ATEX/UKEX, IEC/BS EN 60079) while lifting reliability through RCM/FMEA and data driven defect elimination.

If powering safe, compliant, future ready hydrogen operations excites you, we’d love to hear from you today.

• Lead statutory electrical compliance (EAWR, DSEAR/UKEX, BS 7671).
• Manage HV/LV authorisation schemes and safe systems of work (permits, isolation, earthing).
• Oversee HV/LV design, protection settings, switching procedures and commissioning.
• Deliver hazardous area classification (Zone 1/2) and specify compliant Ex equipment.
• Integrate electrical safety into hydrogen electrolysers and fuelling systems (interlocks, E‑stops, detection).
• Maintain DSEAR controls, Ex-inspection regimes and site compliance documentation.
• Develop and maintain asset registers, protection databases and single‑line diagrams.
• Provide technical assurance across design, installation, testing and energisation.
• Support operational fault response, relay analysis and load/energy optimisation.
• Lead Management of Change and keep drawings, settings and Ex dossiers up to date.
• Develop electrical training and competence (HV switching, 18th Edition, Comp Ex).
• Contribute to asset strategies, maintenance planning and capex/opex forecasting.

• Electrical law and guidance: EAWR 1989 (HSR
  25), safe working practices (HSG
  85).
• Wiring rules: BS 7671 (18th Ed., current amendments) for design, erection and verification.
• Explosive atmospheres: DSEAR; equipment selection/installation/inspection to IEC/BS EN 60079; UKEX/ATEX product duties.
• Construction phase: CDM 2015 roles and deliverables for design/installation/commissioning.

• HV/LV design review (protection coordination, earthing, arc flash risk reduction), Ex equipment specification, and BS 7671 verification.
• Leadership of electrical safe systems (permits, isolation, sanction for test) and competency/authorisation programs aligned to HSG
  85/EAWR.
• DSEAR assessments focusing on electrical ignition sources and HAC deliverables (drawings, inspection/test plans).
• Minimum of 3 years in heavy industry, power, oil & gas, chemicals or hydrogen with HV/LV responsibility and Ex installations.
• Demonstrable delivery of maintenance strategies, reliability improvements and safe commissioning/energisation programmes.
• Prior role as Authorised Person (HV/LV) or involvement with an Authorising Engineer scheme.

• Degree (BEng/BSc) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering (or related).
• Desirable: HV Switching/Protection courses;
  Authorised Person (HV/LV);
  Authorising Engineer training;
  Comp Ex Ex01–Ex04 (or equivalent); DSEAR assessor training; NEBOSH Process Safety (or similar); CDM duty holder awareness.

We are an engineering-led energy systems business developing a flagship hydrogen production, compression, storage and dispensing facility. You will join the Engineering team and collaborate with Operations, SHEQ, Capital Delivery, Strategy & Business Development and OEM partners to deliver a plant that is safe, compliant, reliable and optimised.
