Are you an Electrical Engineer with HV Design / Power Systems experience?
Looking for something challenging, rewarding and innovative?
Whilst seeking to get away from feeling like just a number in a massive company?
If the answer is yes to the above 3 then this could be an ideal opportunity for you….
I currently have a Design Opportunity with a very established and reputable client based in Swindon. The client designs and builds a range of specialised equipment within the Transmission and Distribution sector. With projects spanning internationally they have a very credible presence in the industry competing with much larger clients in their field such as Siemens, GE, ABB and Schneider.
The role for Power Systems Engineer would involve working closely with the Operations team, collecting design requirements, substation visits and internal discussions, and you will also be required to produce engineering documents and drawings, prepare costings and bill of material documents for projects. This will include providing advice for the application of voltage control, tap changers and control, power systems protection equipment, support for existing products and input into new product development.
Working with this client offers a great amount of scope and control for experienced Engineers that are seeking to develop and grow with their career whilst gaining more autonomy over work. This forward‑thinking company works on innovative projects and feedback from everybody placed has always been positive.
