• Coordinate cable interfaces with substations, overhead lines, civil works, protection, telecoms and construction teams.
• Review manufacturer calculations, drawings and technical data while supporting bid evaluation, installation, testing, commissioning and fault investigation.

Required Skills

• HV/EHV Cable Engineering: Strong hands-on knowledge of HV cable systems, preferably XLPE systems at 132 kV and above.
• Cable Rating: Practical application of IEC 60287 and IEC 60853 for steady-state, emergency and cyclic cable-rating calculations.
• Bonding & Earthing: Strong understanding of sheath bonding, cross-bonding, earthing, induced sheath voltages and electromagnetic effects.
• Cable Rating Software: Hands-on capability with CYMCAP or an equivalent recognized cable-rating package.
• Power-System Analysis: Practical experience with ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSS/E or equivalent for load flow, fault-level, voltage/reactive-power and related studies.

Preferred Skills

• Transmission-voltage XLPE cable-system experience at 132 kV and above.
• Familiarity with relevant IEC, BS/EN and ENA engineering practices.
• Postgraduate specialization in power systems or high-voltage engineering.

Work Experience Requirements

• Candidates must have 8–12 years of relevant professional experience in cable systems and/or power-system studies, with substantial hands-on responsibility and direct ownership of engineering deliverables.
• Experience should include high-voltage power, transmission, substations, utilities or directly comparable critical infrastructure.
• Candidates should demonstrate experience coordinating civil, route and substation interfaces and reviewing manufacturer engineering data.

Education

• Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Power Engineering
• Preferred: Postgraduate study in Power Systems or High-Voltage Engineering
