Our Principal Consultants are experts in their field We are trusted advisors on cable system design when developers are looking to connect to the distribution and transmission networks.  In addition, we also support utilities and private entities during the development and execution of HVDC Interconnector projects. This role is broad and challenging with huge opportunity to grow - you will have autonomy and accountability. In joining us as a Principal you will further deepen your technical leadership skills, acting as an ambassador for PSC in the cables field. 

You’ll be someone who enjoys industry networking and thought leadership. We fully support and encourage you to contribute to publications, white papers and to participate in task forces and working committees (e.g., IEEE, CIGRE). In doing this you will drive business development activities by engaging with potential clients and promoting PSC.

  • Technical review of EPC contractor cable designs, installation documentation and testing schedules.
  • Witness factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, commissioning and undertake inspections of cable assets during the installation or operational phase of a project.

Your deep technical knowledge means you can manage all project phases, including developing specifications, documentation, analysis, and reporting. You will have full technical responsibility for projects, as well as guiding and mentoring other team members and taking responsibility for final work outcomes and deliverables.

As an expert in Cables you can present results to clients, articulate complex material easily, and defend results with confidence. PSC and our clients will be relying on your extensive latitude for independent judgment and decision-making.

You’ll be a key part of our growth journey, leading and negotiating proposal activities for clients (commercial and functional). You’ll actively pursue additional business opportunities with existing clients as well as identifying new opportunities for PSC.

  • Experience as a cable installation contractor, utilities engineer, engineering consultant or renewables developer.
  • Great project management skills and ability to manage scope variations and budgets.
  • A growth mindset, a compulsion to be better today than you were yesterday.
  • Proven track record of coaching other engineers and an interest in helping others to succeed.
  • Strong emotional intelligence, the capacity to be vulnerable, and the courage to lead.
  • Chartered Engineer or developing towards chartered status.
  • Strong industry network and aptitude for business development.

If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of then we would love to tell you more.
