As a Project Engineer (Electrical or Civil biased) in our Major Projects department, you will be responsible for driving the successful delivery of large critical infrastructure projects that are vital in delivering safe and reliable power for our customers. You will use a combination of specialist technical knowledge, shrewd contract administration and project management acumen, to effectively lead and manage cross functional project teams that deliver a wide portfolio of high voltage projects to the highest possible standards of safety, time, cost and quality.

As a Specification & Design Engineer in our Major Projects department, you will be recognised as an Electrical or Building & Civil specialist who produces plant and equipment specifications and detailed technical solutions for a wide range of high voltage projects. As a key member of the project team, you will review designs, evaluate tenders and manage key plant framework contracts that enable Major Projects to successfully deliver large critical infrastructure projects. You will be involved in the implementation of complex engineering and industry technical standards, overseeing the necessary factory acceptance testing of the latest plant and equipment, to ensure our projects are delivered to the highest possible quality and safety standards.

As a Substation Design Engineer in our Major Projects department, you will be responsible for producing detailed CAD designs across the full project lifecycle (from initial feasibilities through to intricate construction drawings) that enables the successful delivery of large high voltage projects. Our Substation Design Engineers are key project team members who undertake the important role of ‘Designer’ under the CDM (Construction Design and Management) regulations, using their in-depth knowledge of complex engineering and technical standards to produce safe and efficient designs in a variety of specialist high voltage disciplines (cables, overhead line systems and substations).

As a Power Systems Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing solutions to develop the electricity network across the region. Using your electrical engineering knowledge, you will carry out power system studies to determine and develop optimal investment solutions. You will work on schemes to replace poorly performing equipment, to connect new customers, or to increase the network capacity to help the UK meet challenging net zero targets.

As an asset management engineer, you will ensure our network assets, tools and techniques are fit for purpose. You could be developing design policies and equipment standards to meet the evolving needs of our region; monitoring the health of network assets and ensuring timely intervention to maintain and improve asset and network performance; assessing asset health from inspection and maintenance data; or developing new and innovative equipment and applications to enhance existing capabilities, particularly in light of the decarbonization of UK energy.

Working in Distribution System Operation, you will be involved in forecasting and influencing both long-term and short-term energy markets to ensure that network demand does not exceed network capacity. Where shortfalls are forecast you will collaborate with other parts of the business to determine and ensure delivery of the optimal short- and long-term solutions. You will liaise with other network operators, including the transmission system operator to ensure that forecasts and solutions are co-ordinated and efficient.
