Summary

My client has grown rapidly in the Transmission & Distribution sector over the last five years and have been
successful in winning a number of major projects within the UK. As the demand to deliver exceptional engineering
design from our clients continues to grow, an opportunity has arisen for a Senior Electrical Engineer.

Key objectives

The Senior Electrical Engineer - HV role will be reporting to the Principal / Associate Engineer - HV and will be
responsible ensuring the quality and consistency of the team's output in the production and control of drawings and

secure further work.

Principal responsibilities and accountabilities:

The candidate must have experience (depending on role) in the production of all designs, calculations, reports &
drawings associated with new or modification of EHV projects from 11kV - 400kV covering primary design,
secondary design and protection & control. This will cover the production of Substation primary layouts, primary
equipment specifications, equipment rating calculations, busbar short circuit force calculations, earthing studies,
impressed voltage calculations, production of material specification lists, fault calculations, P&C wiring diagrams,
protection requirements and system modelling.

The candidate must have a reasonable level of maths and science, preferably from a power engineering
background and have good communication skills. In the role they will manage the production through a robust
