Job Description

HOME BASED | UK-WIDE PROJECTS
Want to take full ownership of electrical projects from concept through design, delivery and commissioning?
Were recruiting for an Electrical Project Engineer to join a growing engineering and energy business working across power generation, renewable energy, HV/LV systems and process control.

Were equally interested in ambitious Electrical Project Engineers with strong technical foundations and solid project experience who are ready to step up.

Youll be given the tools and support to develop, including the opportunity to progress towards Chartered Engineer status, but youll also be trusted to work autonomously, take ownership and drive your projects forward.

A Genuine Cradle-to-Grave Engineering Role

Youll be involved throughout the complete project lifecycle, from initial feasibility and technical assessment through to:

  • Electrical design and engineering
  • HV and LV systems
  • Project development
  • Grid-connected and power generation projects
  • Process control and SCADA
  • Project delivery and technical oversight
  • Site-based engineering
  • Testing and commissioning
  • Troubleshooting and optimisation
  • Operational handover
  • Client, supplier and stakeholder engagement

This is not a narrow desk-based design position.

Youll have the opportunity to see projects through from early concept to successful operation andtake genuine ownership along the way.

The Projects

Youll work across the growing sustainable energy and power generation sector, with projects potentially including:

  • Energy from Waste / EfW
  • Anaerobic Digestion / AD
  • Battery Energy Storage / BESS
  • Energy Storage
  • Carbon Capture
  • Grid-scale power systems
  • Industrial energy projects

What Were Looking For

Wed like to hear from experienced:

  • Electrical Project Engineers
  • Senior Electrical Engineers
  • Electrical Design Engineers
  • Power Systems Engineers

Relevant experience could come from power generation, renewable energy, utilities, EPC, industrial engineering, electrical consultancy or major infrastructure projects.

Experience across any of the following would be particularly valuable:

  • HV / LV electrical systems
  • Power generation
  • Grid integration
  • SCADA and process control
  • Renewable energy
  • BESS / energy storage
  • Electrical commissioning
  • Industrial electrical systems
  • Youll ideally hold a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.

Chartered Engineer status would be highly desirable, but candidates who are working towards Chartership will be strongly considered.


Not Chartered?

If you can demonstrate exceptional electrical project experience and the ability to take projects through design, delivery and commissioning, we still want to hear from you.


You wont be micromanaged.

Youll be trusted to manage your workload, make technical decisions, work with clients and stakeholders and take ownership of delivering your projects successfully.

If youre an Electrical Project Engineer looking for more responsibility, greater autonomy and the opportunity to take projects from concept through to commissioning and operation, this could be the career move youve been waiting for.


If youre an Electrical Project Engineer looking for more autonomy, broader project exposure and a genuine step forward, apply today and lets have a confidential conversation.
