We're hiring a Senior Power Systems Engineer to join Pendulum Power and lead the technical delivery of grid-connected renewable, storage and HV projects across the UK. This is a fully remote role open to candidates living and working in the United Kingdom.
About the Role
You'll own complex power system studies end-to-end — from initial feasibility through DNO/TO connection applications and into detailed design. You'll work across solar, wind and battery energy storage projects, supporting developers, EPCs and asset owners to get connected and stay compliant. Expect a mix of independent technical work, client-facing engagement and mentoring of more junior engineers.
What You'll Do
- Lead grid connection applications (G99, G5/5, ENA EREC) and act as technical lead in liaison with DNOs, iDNOs and the TO.
- Carry out load flow, fault level, harmonic, stability and protection coordination studies using industry-standard tools (DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, AutoCAD LT).
- Design and review HV/MV systems, substations and protection schemes for renewable and BESS projects up to 132 kV.
- Produce single-line diagrams, protection settings, earthing studies and compliance documentation to grid code standards.
- Provide technical due diligence on developer pipelines, M&A targets and connection offers.
- Mentor junior engineers and review their work; help shape our internal standards and templates.
- Represent Pendulum Power in technical meetings with clients, DNOs and Ofgem-regulated parties.
What We Are Looking For
- 3–5 years' post-graduate experience in power systems engineering, with a strong UK grid focus.
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems or a closely related discipline. Chartered status (CEng) or working towards it is a plus.
- Deep working knowledge of UK Grid Code, Distribution Code, G99 and ENA Engineering Recommendations.
- Hands-on experience with DIgSILENT PowerFactory and AutoCAD LT; ETAP a bonus.
- Proven track record delivering grid connection studies for renewables, storage or large industrial loads.
- Confident in protection & control design and HV substation engineering.
- Excellent written communication — you'll be producing reports that go to DNOs and clients.
- Self-directed and comfortable working remotely; able to manage your own workload and deadlines.
What We Offer
- Salary dependent on experience — we pay competitively for the right person.
- Fully remote working from anywhere in the UK, with occasional travel to client sites and team meet-ups.
- Pension, private healthcare and 28 days' holiday plus bank holidays.
- A varied technical pipeline — we work across the most active parts of the UK energy transition.
- Genuine influence over how we work, what we build and where the business goes next.
- Support for CPD, IET membership and chartership.
