My client, a rapidly growing leader in the UK Transmission & Distribution sector, has a new opportunity for an experienced HV Cable Design Engineer. With recent major project wins, they are seeking a skilled professional to drive high-quality engineering design.

This role could be based out of any of my clients UK offices on a hybrid basis – there should be a location to suit most home locations.

The ideal candidate will have substantial experience in designing, calculating, and producing documentation for EHV projects (11kV-400kV), covering bonding line diagrams, cable rating calculations, and thermo-mechanical thrust calculations, among others. They will manage deliverables through a robust checking process, develop drawing standards, mentor CAD technicians, and support project delivery.

The role requires strong communication skills, a foundation in power engineering principles, and the ability to work effectively within a team. It offers diverse career development paths as the candidate progresses within the company.

Qualifications and Experience:
  1. Education: Minimum BEng/BSc in Electrical Engineering (Power/HV background preferred); MEng/MSc is advantageous.
  2. Experience: Knowledge of HV cable design, including current ratings, emergency and overload ratings, bonding diagrams, thermo-mechanical calculations, and cable pulling tension calculations.
  3. Technical Skills:
    1. Proficiency in IEC standards and familiarity with design software like MathCAD, CYMCAP, COMSOL, ETAP, and DigSilent.
    2. Skilled in CAD tools such as Microstation, Revit, and AutoCAD.
    3. Experience with specifications from clients like National Grid, SSE, and UKPN.
  4. Additional Competencies: Effective report writing, interpersonal skills, and a collaborative mindset.

This role requires a proactive, adaptable individual capable of managing project timelines and technical requirements, with a commitment to quality and innovation in the power transmission field.

My client will sponsor candidates if they have UK National Grid or UK SSEN project experience.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
