About The Role

Join us and help deliver some of the UK and Ireland’s most important solar PV, battery storage and private wire projects? Your electrical engineering expertise will shape technical decisions across the project lifecycle while supporting the transition to a cleaner, more secure energy future.

At EDF power solutions, we’re shaping an Electric UK and Ireland. Your work will help us turn that ambition into action – delivering renewable energy solutions that will power homes, businesses and communities for generations to come.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you’ll provide technical leadership across a growing portfolio of renewable energy projects. From development and design through to construction, commissioning and handover, you’ll help make sure projects are safe, compliant, commercially viable and built for long‑term success.

The Opportunity

As Senior Electrical Engineer, you’ll play a key role within our Solar, Storage and Private Wire Engineering Team. You’ll support a diverse portfolio of solar PV, battery storage and private wire projects, providing technical expertise that helps deliver engineering excellence across every stage of project development and delivery.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this is a hybrid role with a mix of home working and time in our London, Edinburgh or Durham offices one or two days per month. You’ll also travel to project sites and other locations as needed to support delivery and collaboration.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence major renewable energy investments, review and assure engineering solutions, support the development of engineering standards, and work alongside multidisciplinary teams that are helping accelerate the UK and Ireland’s transition to low‑carbon energy.

With technologies spanning onshore and offshore wind, solar, battery storage and green hydrogen, we’re the UK and Ireland’s most diverse renewable generator. By 2035, we aim to deliver 10GW of low‑carbon energy – and we’d love you to help us get there.

Who You Are

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• Demonstrable experience delivering infrastructure or energy projects across multiple lifecycle stages including development, design, construction and commissioning
• Strong grounding in electrical engineering systems design, ideally relevant to renewable energy, such as high voltage, protection and control, power electronics, SCADA or balance of plant.
• Experience working within multidisciplinary project teams and understanding engineering interfaces across civil, mechanical, control and commercial disciplines
• Knowledge of UK standards, regulations and grid requirements relevant to renewable energy projects
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to project sites

What You’ll Be Doing

• Providing electrical engineering support across a portfolio of solar PV, battery storage, private wire and onshore/offshore wind projects
• Supporting projects through development, design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover
• Reviewing and assuring engineering outputs from consultants, contractors and OEMs
• Supporting optioneering and feasibility assessments to identify practical and commercially viable solutions
• Contributing to engineering standards, technical specifications and employer requirements
• Supporting procurement activities through technical assessment of tender submissions
• Identifying and helping manage engineering risks in line with project and business requirements
• Providing technical guidance to engineers and project teams
