Whether you’re just starting your career or you have years of experience, My Client wants you to be a part of their dynamic and innovative team.


This is a fantastic opportunity to support underground HV cable construction projects. You could be based in one of their UK offices or take advantage of a hybrid working option, depending on your expertise and project requirements. While candidates may be based in any UK office, those open to working in the Crawley or Glasgow areas will be given preference.

With a strong pipeline of projects, they offer an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of underground HV cable systems, supporting the UK’s 2030 energy objectives, Great British Energy’s mission, and the crucial transition to a sustainable future.

– Competitive Salary: Benefit from a competitive salary with regular reviews to ensure alignment with market standards.

– Flexible Benefits Package: Includes 33 days of annual leave (inclusive of public holidays), a generous contributory pension scheme, private medical cover, and life insurance equivalent to 4x base salary – all adaptable to suit your lifestyle.

– Professional Development: Receive tailored development plans to meet your individual career goals and aspirations.

– Global Network: Collaborate with experts worldwide, shaping the standards of the engineering profession.


What Will You Do?

Reporting to the Cables Lead Engineer, you will produce underground cable system (UGC) design studies to support construction and consultancy projects. Responsibilities may include:

– Preparing Cable System Design Summary reports, Cable Rating reports, Cable Bonding schemes, and Induced Voltage calculations.

– Conducting Cable Forces and Cable Sizing calculations for various installation and operational scenarios.

– Designing Cable Pulling plans, performing calculations, and reviewing installation drawings.

– Selecting materials and accessories, producing the Bill of Quantities for projects and tenders.

– Coordinating with suppliers, reviewing product designs and type test certificates, and providing technical support to the procurement team.

– Collaborating with other teams (such as OHL, Substations, and Protection) and various project stakeholders.

– Supporting the Operations team during the construction period.


Essential Requirements:

– A minimum of ISCED level 4 (post-secondary non-tertiary) HNC in a STEM subject, preferably with an Electrical Engineering focus.
