If you're a senior HV design engineer sitting behind a design manager who isn't going anywhere, this is the step up!

We’re hiring a Lead HV Design Engineer for a multi-utility ICP delivering across a multi-utility environment. You'd own the design function: engineers reporting to you, technical authority on the complex jobs, and the final word on what gets submitted to the DNO.

It's a genuine mix. You'll still design, but you'll also build the team, sharpen the process, and sit across the table from DNOs on the connections that don't fit the standard template.

• Leading and developing a team of design engineers.
• Approving LV, HV and EHV network designs before they go out.
• Owning DNO connection applications and upstream network negotiations.
• Acting as technical authority on the difficult ones, and working directly with developers and customers.

• Solid LV and HV network design experience from a DNO, IDNO or ICP background. EHV is a bonus, not a barrier.
• Win Debut, IPSA, Vis Net or equivalent.
• Working knowledge of 2D CAD and ENA/G81 design standards.
• Some experience mentoring or checking other engineers' work. You don't need to have run a team before - we'll back you to grow into it.

• A real band, not an "up to" figure. £70,000-£90,000 (plus bonus) depending on where you land.
• 2 days working from home. The design work happens wherever your laptop is.
• The company is growing fast and the design function is being built around whoever takes this role.
• Private medical, enhanced pension, life assurance, 26 days holiday
