Work on Complex Power Systems Across Diverse, High-Impact Projects
This is an opportunity to join a dedicated power systems team delivering detailed electrical infrastructure design and analysis across a wide range of sectors.
You will work on projects spanning LV to 132kV networks, contributing to everything from network modelling and protection studies to embedded generation and substation design.
With exposure to both pure power systems projects and multidisciplinary building developments, this role offers a strong blend of technical depth, project variety, and long-term progression.What’s on Offer

• Structured career development with training and mentoring
• Agile / flexible working environment
• Generous annual leave (with buy/sell options)
• Enhanced family leave policies
• Cycle to Work and Electric Vehicle schemes
• Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing support
• Exposure to diverse, technically challenging projects
• Collaborative team environment with strong technical support

The Role

• Deliver power systems design and analysis across LV, HV, and EHV networks (up to 132kV)
• Carry out load flow, fault level, protection grading, and harmonic studies using industry-standard software (ETAP, IPSA+, PowerFactory, ERACS)
• Design electrical infrastructure, including substations, cable networks, and earthing systems
• Support embedded generation projects (solar PV, standby generation, G99 applications)
• Liaise with DNOs/IDNOs on new connections, upgrades, and compliance
• Produce technical reports, specifications, and design documentation
• Attend site visits, commissioning activities, and client meetings to ensure successful project delivery

About You
Essential:

• Degree in Power Systems Engineering or Electrical Engineering
• Experience in power systems analysis and electrical network design
• Proficiency in software such as ETAP, IPSA+, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, or ERACS
• Strong understanding of HV/LV distribution systems, protection, and network modelling
• Experience producing technical reports and working with DNOs
• Ability to work across projects and communicate effectively with stakeholders

Desirable:

• Experience with embedded generation (G99), renewable integration, or grid connections
• Knowledge of ENA standards (e.g. G5/4) and UK regulatory frameworks
• Experience with AutoCAD (Revit advantageous)
• Exposure to arc flash, insulation coordination, or voltage stability studies

 
The Opportunity

• Work across a broad portfolio of technically complex power systems projects
• Gain exposure to both infrastructure and building-integrated power systems
• Develop expertise across network modelling, protection, and renewable integration
• Learn from and collaborate with experienced, specialist power systems engineers
• Progress within a business investing in low-carbon and future energy solutions
