Job description

£60,000 to £80,000 plus car allowance and strong benefits

Remote, with occasional travel to HQ in Scotland and other UK offices

Own the design, from tender to construction

You know how to get a 33kV design right. Now imagine owning it from the first tender submission to the final construction pack, on renewables projects that connect clean power to the grid.

This is a lead design role, not a seat at the back of the drawing office. You'll shape the substations, the protection schemes and the cable routes, and you'll see them built.

Why this role

Renewables connections are moving fast. Engineers who can both win the work and design it properly are rare, and here you do both.

Your tender designs set the price and the approach

Your technical judgement stays with the project all the way through delivery

You’ll work with civil and structural designers, the estimating team and the DNOs and IDNOs, so your view carries weight in client meetings and design reviews

What you'll do

Lead substation design: layout, protection and control, earthing and auxiliary systems
Produce tender submissions for connections and the electrical infrastructure around them
Run site assessments and feasibility studies for network extensions and reinforcements
Draw SLDs, GA layouts, schematics and wiring diagrams in AutoCAD
Prepare BOQs and cost estimates, then build construction design packs for delivery
Keep every design to ENA, BS, IEC and DNO standards, and remove risk across the asset's whole life

About you

Essential:

A degree in Electrical Power Engineering (or an HNC/HND with extensive HV design experience)
3+ years in 33kV or higher design
Proven substation, protection, earthing and auxiliary systems experience
Strong AutoCAD
Solid knowledge of HV plant
Design submissions approved by DNOs/IDNOs
A full UK driving licence
