  • Min 8 years experience in the design and delivery of protection and control systems within the high-voltage (11kV–400kV) sector.
  • Strong understanding of protection principles, relay coordination, and electrical system fault analysis.
  • Experience using relay software.
  • Knowledge of industry standards and regulations, including CDM, ESQCR, and relevant grid connection policies.
  • Prior exposure to both brownfield and greenfield substation projects.
  • Chartered Engineer status or working toward chartership is preferred.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward-thinking business leading the way in electrical design for high-voltage infrastructure projects. If you’re ready to make an impact, apply today to take the next step in your career.
