• Competence in electrical isolations, earthing and safe systems of work.
• Experience preparing and working to switching schedules.

• You'll undertake and control HV switching, isolations and earthing, prepare switching schedules and manage the appropriate electrical safety documentation.
• You'll work closely with engineers, technicians, contractors and customers to make sure HV activities are planned and carried out safely and correctly.
• Depending on your level of authorisation, you'll act as SAP or AP across projects and provide the operational competence required for work on HV networks.
• This is a mobile role and projects can be located throughout the UK, so you'll need to be comfortable travelling and staying away when projects require it.

Senior Authorised Person (SAP) / Authorised Person (AP) – North of England / UK – Package Negotiable

Are you an experienced SAP or AP with a background working on DNO electrical infrastructure?

Do you hold current or previous authorisations relevant to HV switching and safety-critical operations?

Are you comfortable taking responsibility for switching, isolations and the issue of electrical safety documentation?

Would you be interested in joining a smaller, growing HV business where you can become a key part of the operational structure?

If the answers are yes, we are hiring for an experienced Senior Authorised Person or suitably qualified Authorised Person to join a specialist HV engineering business delivering projects across the UK.

This isn't about joining a huge organisation and becoming another number. You'll be joining a smaller business with a strong project book and the opportunity to become an important part of its operational capability as it continues to grow.

• Current or previous SAP/AP authorisation within a DNO, IDNO or closely aligned HV environment
• Strong practical HV switching experience
• Competence in electrical isolations, earthing and safe systems of work
• Experience preparing and working to switching schedules
• Experience issuing and controlling safety documentation including Permits to Work and Sanctions for Test
• A sound understanding of HV distribution equipment, switchgear, transformers and protection systems
• Strong understanding of operational safety rules and procedures
• Experience working on DNO infrastructure or networks operating to comparable safety rules
• Ability to work independently and take operational responsibility
• Flexibility to travel to projects across the UK
• Full UK driving licence

What You Get In Return...

• Salary and overall package negotiable depending on authorisations and experience
• Permanent position within a growing specialist HV business
• UK-wide portfolio of HV projects
• Opportunity to become a key part of the company's operational structure
• Significant autonomy and responsibility
• Long-term opportunity as the business continues to develop
• Company Vehicle
• Competitive Benefits package tailored within reason

Nice To Haves

• Existing Senior Authorised Person status
• Current DNO authorisations
• Previous authorisations with organisations such as Northern Powergrid, Electricity North West, National Grid Electricity Distribution, UK Power Networks, SP Energy Networks or SSEN Distribution
• Experience across multiple HV voltage levels
• Testing, commissioning or protection experience
• Experience working across both DNO and private HV networks

Day To Day

You'll support the safe delivery of HV works across a growing UK project portfolio.

You'll undertake and control HV switching, isolations and earthing, prepare switching schedules and manage the appropriate electrical safety documentation.

You'll work closely with engineers, technicians, contractors and customers to make sure HV activities are planned and carried out safely and correctly.

Depending on your level of authorisation, you'll act as SAP or AP across projects and provide the operational competence required for work on HV networks.

This is a mobile role and projects can be located throughout the UK, so you'll need to be comfortable travelling and staying away when projects require it. A Northern base would be advantageous, but we'd rather find the right person than restrict the search geographically. INDWIN
