Senior Electrical Project Engineer – Power Generation & Renewables

Take ownership of electrical engineering projects from initial concept through to design, delivery, commissioning and operational handover. Are you an experienced Electrical Project Engineer, Senior Electrical Engineer or Electrical Design Engineer looking for greater technical responsibility, project ownership and career progression? RecruitME is recruiting for an established engineering and energy business delivering technically challenging projects across power generation, renewable energy, HV/LV electrical systems and industrial infrastructure.

This isn't a purely office-based electrical design position. You'll combine technical engineering with hands-on project delivery, site involvement, commissioning and client engagement. And you don't need to be the finished article. If you're an ambitious Electrical Project Engineer with strong technical foundations and the ability to manage projects, this could be your opportunity to progress into a more senior position.

The Role In the position of Senior Electrical Project Engineer, you'll hold the technical reins for electrical engineering projects throughout their entire lifecycle. Your involvement will span feasibility studies, design, development, procurement assistance, on-site delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, and operational handover. Guiding electrical engineering projects from initial idea to final execution Crafting and evaluating electrical designs, specifications, and technical documents Engaging with both high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) electrical systems Supporting initiatives in power generation, grid connectivity, and electrical infrastructure Offering technical insights into electrical distribution, power systems, and process control Aiding in project planning, engineering coordination, and execution activities Working with SCADA, control systems, and related electrical equipment Supervising installation, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting Communicating with clients, suppliers, contractors, and project stakeholders Resolving technical issues and devising practical engineering solutions Ensuring projects are delivered safely, compliantly, and efficiently You'll get the chance to witness the impact of your engineering choices, rather than passing designs off to another team.

Who We're Seeking We're keen to connect with seasoned Electrical Project Engineers, Senior Electrical Engineers, Power Systems Engineers, and Electrical Design Engineers eager to lead diverse technical projects.

Required Experience:

Extensive electrical engineering background in power generation, renewable energy, utilities, industrial engineering, EPC, electrical consulting, or infrastructure Hands-on expertise in HV/LV electrical systems, electrical design, or power distribution Proven track record in contributing to electrical projects through design, execution, installation, or commissioning Skill in interpreting technical drawings, specifications, and engineering documents Proficiency in resolving engineering challenges and making informed technical choices Excellent communication abilities when interacting with clients, contractors, and engineering teams Readiness to travel frequently to project sites throughout the UK Experience That Sets You Apart:
Power generation connected to the grid or grid integration HV/LV electrical distribution and power systems expertise Experience in electrical testing and commissioning Knowledge of SCADA, PLCs, or industrial process control Familiarity with BESS, Energy from Waste, anaerobic digestion, or other renewable technologies Managing electrical engineering projects from inception to completion A degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field Chartered Engineer status…
