Job Description

HV Electrical Engineer - Nuclear 
 Location: , Bristol (hybrid working)
 Salary: Competitive + benefits (perm)

Are you an HV Electrical Engineer who wants to work on genuinely next generation nuclear projects rather than just keeping legacy assets running?

iO Associates are partnered with a global turnkey supplier into nuclear, solar, geothermal and wider power generation. You'll be joining the team in Almondsbury, working on the electrical systems that underpin a new, unfailingly safe and secure source of clean energy.

The role

You'll sit within the engineering team, focusing on the design and analysis of HV and LV electrical systems for a new nuclear power plant. It's a hands-on design role where you'll be:

Developing requirements and design specifications for electrical systems.
Performing system studies and calculations (load flow, short circuit, protection etc.).
Reading, interpreting and producing electrical schematics, SLDs and wiring diagrams.
Contributing to licensing / regulatory conformance evaluations.
Owning elements of cable routing and associated analysis.
Supporting vendor selection and technical vetting.
Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams (I&C, mechanical, systems, safety).
You'll be working in and around 1kV / HV environments, and will have exposure to tools such as ETAP, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, PSCAD (or similar).

About you

You don't need to have a career's worth of nuclear experience behind you - but you do need solid fundamentals in HV electrical design and a genuine interest in low carbon power. 
We're looking for:

A degree in Electrical Engineering (or closely related discipline).
2-5 years' experience in electrical design or analysis - ideally in power generation, nuclear, transmission & distribution, or heavy industry/COMAH environments.
Good working knowledge of electrical design methods, standards and regulatory requirements.
Ability to produce clear, accurate technical documents and design deliverables with minimal rework.
Experience with one or more tools such as ETAP, PowerFactory, PSCAD (or similar power systems analysis packages).
Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
Nice to have (not essential):

Experience on systems such as on-site distribution (AC/DC), off-site interfaces (switchyard), grounding & lightning protection, plant lighting, battery systems, comms or diesel generators.
Exposure to nuclear standards/regulatory guidance (e.g. NUREG, IEEE, IEC, EPRI) or COMAH sites.
A Master's in Electrical Engineering or related field.

Why join?

Work at the forefront of Nuclear technology.
Join a growing, multidisciplinary team where your input is visible and valued.
Clear opportunities for career development as the programme scales.
A genuinely mission driven environment, focused on clean, reliable energy.
