Design Support Engineer; Electrical

Hemiko is a fast-growing, UK based, innovative business which is looking to invest in and deliver over £1bn of heat network projects in the coming years. We fund, design build, operate and maintain low carbon district energy networks and building energy systems for communities, towns and cities. We work with local authorities, developers, house builders and property owners.

We are looking to lead on city scale decarbonisation. We recognise that the decarbonisation of heating and the built environment is one of the last known and solution clear areas this is where we are focussed and where we will be deploying our investment and our resources.

We are an innovative, design and proactive intelligence led company, looking to attract people who think through a problem and past an issue. We want to be at the front end of commercial and technical innovation and are looking for team members to come on that journey.

Hemiko is seeking a highly flexible, self-starting, Electrical Engineer with a building services design experience to join the design team as a Design Support Engineer (Electrical). The location of the post will be Sheffield. The role is to support the design and growth of heat network infrastructure in the UK, so you may also be expected to visit prospective and active construction sites throughout the UK from time to time, as necessary.

The nature of the business and our rapid growth means that the candidate has significant opportunity to develop their career in a friendly environment and progress as the company grows. We are looking to develop teams of engineers that will be able to grow into designing a variety of energy related systems. It is anticipated, therefore, that the candidate would be seeking to broaden their skills horizon.

This position will differ from conventional design responsibilities in that the engineer will be given the opportunity to help own design projects from inception through to operation. Following the handover to our Operations Team, the engineer will continue to monitor and evaluate feedback from the Operations Team to help refine and improve the design and all future designs.
