Up to £65 per hour (Umbrella)

Overview

You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team delivering cost‑effective, efficient and innovative engineering solutions to complex challenges, helping to shape practical, high‑quality designs across a wide range of energy projects. This role involves contributing to projects at all stages of maturity, including feasibility studies, concept design, FEED, value engineering and detailed design. You’ll take a lead role in developing electrical engineering deliverables and supporting the assessment, optimisation and safe operation of electrical systems across the energy sector.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support the development of practical, cost‑effective and innovative engineering solutions in collaboration with wider project teams.
• Deliver engineering work across multiple project phases, from early‑stage feasibility through to detailed design.
• Prepare and develop electrical deliverables including single line diagrams, cable calculations, cable block diagrams, plant layouts, cable routing, containment design, switchgear configuration philosophies and bills of materials/quantities.
• Work closely with equipment vendors to develop equipment package designs and participate in technical evaluations of vendor proposals.
• Support owners, operators and investors by assessing the condition, performance and risks associated with electrical assets, identifying opportunities and intervention needs.
• Contribute to the preparation of proposals and bids for the EC&I discipline and support multidisciplinary tender submissions.

Requirements

• A degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant engineering discipline, supported by significant post‑graduate experience in electrical design, operation, maintenance or testing.
• Chartered Engineer status or working toward IEng/CEng with membership of a relevant professional institution.
• The capability and motivation to take a lead role in developing electrical deliverables or assessing assets under construction or in operation.
• Strong knowledge of the design, construction and operation of power and energy projects.
• Proven understanding of the design process, including working with scopes, design concepts, calculations and documentation, and/or experience with commissioning, operation, maintenance and testing of medium‑ and high‑voltage systems and equipment.
