A Little More About Your Role… At WSP, there’s nothing we love more than pushing boundaries. Harnessing innovation and sharing insights across our diverse, international team to create a tomorrow’s world that's cleaner, greener and safer. Join us and you’ll be part of an organisation that takes pride in its people and purpose: creating long-lasting solutions to meet the needs of generations to come.

In this role, you will lead the Energy Transition Electrical team to develop innovative solutions to complex problems, delivering projects at various stages of maturity. Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering group, you will oversee the development of electrical designs on a wide range of energy projects, including open and combined cycle power plants, small modular reactors, data centres, wind, solar, battery energy storage, carbon capture schemes, hydrogen generation and transportation, gas networks, energy from waste plants, and industrial facilities.

Essentially the entire spectrum of electricity generation within the UK and across the world. This is an ideal role if you have exposure in the delivery of concept, FEED, and detail design work and are familiar with working for an OEM, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, or a similar organisation. Your experience of working in operations and maintenance (O&M) and understanding of asset integrity processes and procedures would be advantageous in helping us support our clients with technical advice on their existing facilities and operational plant.

You will work closely with the Head of Engineering and other group technical leads to achieve the business goals set out in our strategic plan. Location is flexible across our UK office network.

You Will Head The Team To Deliver The Following

• Leading the Electrical engineering team to deliver technically excellent solutions to our clients across a broad portfolio of projects.
• Work on projects in a variety of stages of maturity, including feasibility studies, concept designs, FEED Studies, value engineering and detailed design. There will be opportunities for site work during project development, construction and commissioning.
• Deliver due diligence projects, and work on behalf of clients as owners engineer reviewing work completed by others, and as technical advisors to the government for carbon capture and hydrogen projects.
• Preparation and development of Electrical deliverables such as Single Line Diagrams, cable calculations, block diagrams, plant layouts, cable routing, containment design, switch gear configuration philosophies, and producing bill of materials and quantities for electrical systems.
• Generate and maintain internal tools and calculations.
• Providing visible technical and team leadership and governance.
• Developing designs and approaches that clearly differentiate WSP from our competitors.
• Promote and lead innovation across the team and the application of engineering principles to first of a kind projects.
• Working collaboratively…
