We’re expanding our London team and are looking for a Power Systems professional to take a leading role in delivering some of the UK’s most technically challenging and high-profile data centre, mission-critical, utilities and complex power infrastructure projects.

This isn’t simply a design role. You’ll have the opportunity to lead technically, influence clients, mentor engineers and shape projects from concept through delivery — while helping build and grow a high-performing Power Systems capability.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead the design and delivery of complex power systems and substation projects
• Undertake and review load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, arc-flash and transient studies
• Provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Engage directly with clients and support proposals, bids and business development
• Review designs and manage technical, programme, budget and quality risks
• Mentor and develop engineers and contribute to technical excellence
• Help shape engineering standards, innovation and the future direction of the Power Systems team

What we’re looking for

• Degree qualified in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• CEng or actively working towards chartership
• Significant experience in power systems design, analysis and delivery across data centres, utilities, renewables or critical infrastructure
• Strong knowledge of power system studies and electrical network design
• Proven experience leading engineering teams and managing client relationships
• Experience with ETAP, SKM, DIgSILENT PowerFactory or similar software

Why consider the opportunity?

• Work on high-profile, technically challenging projects
• Take a visible technical leadership role within a growing consultancy
• Access strong career progression and leadership opportunities
• Benefit from technical training and professional development programmes
• Collaborate with talented teams across the UK, Europe and globally
• Enjoy a flexible hybrid working environment

If you’re ready to take your Power Systems career to the next level and work on infrastructure that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you.
