Senior Design Engineer - HV Plant

A day in the life of a Murphy Senior Design Engineer

• Work with the Principal Engineer (HV Plant) to prepare 3D models of substation HV plant layouts for new build and extensions of electrical substations up to 400kV.
• Prepare technical specifications for electrical plant items like circuit breaker, disconnector, earth switches, instrument transformers, for Air Insulated and Gas Insulated switchgear.
• Review Original Equipment Supplier (OEM) quotations and documentation to ensure compliance and to integrate these into the overall designs.
  Prepare client drawings, using AutoCAD of detailed design aspects, such as layout and elevations, earthing, mechanical interlocking schemes as required in line client’s technical specification.
• Work with Assistant Engineer and CAD operators to prepare Design Packages for final checking before Client review and issue for construction purposes, undertaking checking to ensure quality and high standards are maintained.
• Provide technical support during construction & commissioning including formal response to site technical queries, i.e., preparation of mods for design modification to rectify design error or any other reason that compels to amend the design to fulfil the functional requirements.
• Work closely with other sections of substation engineering design team to enable effective collaboration on multi-disciplinary projects and facilitate an optimal engineering function.
• Establish and promote best practice in health, safety and environmental matters in conjunction with the SHQE department.
• Provide supervision of assistant engineers, apprentice engineers or CAD operators, providing mentoring, where required.
• Work closely with Principal Engineer, other Senior Engineers and Engineering Manager to support tenders, drive innovation and produce cost effective integrated substations solutions.
• Work closely with Operations and Site Management teams to produce construction methodologies, Impressed Voltage (IV) management plans and CDM drawings to support tenders.
• To develop knowledge of National Grid Specifications with the view to applying for National Grid TP137 Contractor Design Approval Engineer as and when required.
