Description du poste

Our client are seeking a Senior Electrical Cable Engineer on a permament staff basis to be based in Warrington. This role is supporting the SMR programme within the nuclear industry.

As a Senior Engineer, your day-to-day responsibilities span the entirety of the electrical system lifecycle:

• Cabling & Datasets: Develop, maintain, and quality-check critical electrical datasets, including load schedules and cable schedules.
• System Design & Calculations: Perform design calculations for electrical distribution networks, specifically focusing on cable sizing, protection coordination, discrimination studies, and earthing/lightning protection systems.
• Layout & Integration: Work closely with the Layout and Installation Assemblies team to integrate Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) modules, ensuring cables and installation assemblies support the factory-fabricated modular delivery strategy.
• Verification & Validation (V&V): Formulate independent planning, review, and assessment of verification evidence for HV and LV power networks, transformers, switchgear, and cable routing systems to satisfy nuclear regulatory standards.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Interface seamlessly across Mechanical, Civil, Control & Instrumentation (C&I), Safety, and Supply Chain teams to resolve technical assumptions or design changes.
• Technical Governance: Author technical reports for regulatory engagement, act as an "intelligent customer" when dealing with supplier deliverables, and mentor junior engineers.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Education: Degree-level qualification in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline (or equivalent depth of industry experience).
• Industry Experience: Proven experience across the electrical system lifecycle within a highly regulated industry. While a nuclear background is highly desirable, experience in Defence, Aerospace, Rail, Marine, or Oil & Gas is highly valued.
• Technical Knowledge:

- Profound understanding of HV/LV and MV power networks, electrical system architectures, and power distribution.
- Familiarity with electrical design and analysis software (e.g., ETAP, SKM Power Tools, or similar industry packages).
- Mastery of Systems Engineering methodologies (requirements management, interface controls, and configuration traceability).
