Job description

Electrical Design Engineer (HV Power Systems)

Hamilton

HV Distribution • Connections • Utilities • Rail

We're recruiting an experienced HV Electrical Design Engineer to work across major power projects and connection schemes. This role covers the full design lifecycle – not just drawings – from feasibility and modelling through to construction, delivery and commissioning.

If you're someone who can own complex power design and wants a role with autonomy and responsibility, this is the one worth looking at.

The Role

This is full-scope HV design, not CAD support.

• Design and specify HV distribution systems up to 33kV
• Model power networks (fault studies, load analysis, protection coordination)
• Produce technical documentation, drawings and engineering specs
• Ensure compliance with DNO/ICP/ISO and industry standards
• Represent engineering in client and contractor meetings
• Conduct site surveys and ensure installation aligns with design
• Manage project delivery including cost, procurement and quality

What You'll Need

• HND/HNC or higher in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years HV design experience
• Experience with power modelling software (ETAP / PowerFactory / Amtech etc.)
• Strong documentation and technical writing skills
• Understanding of HV networks, connections and utility design
• IET registration (or working towards it)

AutoCAD experience is useful, but this isn't a CAD technician role ̵ it's a power systems engineer position
