• Engage with supply chain partners and subcontractors to obtain competitive and compliant technical proposals.
• Prepare and review technical documentation and support internal governance and approval processes.
• Present technical aspects of bids during client meetings and senior stakeholder reviews.

Ideal Candidate

• Degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Strong experience within the renewable energy and non-regulated power sectors.
• Proven technical leadership on high-voltage electrical infrastructure projects.
• Solid knowledge of HV systems from 33kV to 400kV, including substations and grid connections.
