You'll lead HV/LV system design, grid applications, SLDs, protection studies, G99/G100 Compliance, and DNO engagement from concept through energisation. Ideal for an Electrical Engineer who wants full lifecycle ownership and real influence on project architecture.

Running load flow, fault level, protection coordination, and power quality studies
Specifying transformers, switchgear, inverters, protection systems, metering
Supporting FAT/SAT, commissioning, energisation, and technical procurement
Ensuring compliance with BS, IEC, ENA and site‑specific standards
What you'll need:
Degree in Electrical Engineering (or similar)
Strong experience designing HV/LV systems in power generation
Solar PV experience preferred, but generation/grid experience works
Hands‑on experience with G99/G100, DNO engagement, and grid code

Experience with grid modelling tools (ETAP or similar)
