As an equal opportunities employer who is committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we celebrate individual difference and are actively bringing in more employees from diverse backgrounds to build on our inclusive culture. We anonymise all jobs in our recruitment system, so we can eliminate unconscious bias and be a workplace that reflects the community we serve. Hiring managers only have access to necessary information after shortlisting has taken place and before interview so they can prepare.

Main Responsibilities
- Connection design to include feasibility studies, budget quotes or firm quotations for new loads including embedded generation and for new connections with significant disturbing loads or non-linear characteristics.

Experience of network modelling and analysis and the use of Crown, Des/Emu, Windebut, HV Genie and other design tools as required would be an advantage.

You will need to be mobile throughout the area and a flexible attitude is essential as you may be asked to undertake other duties to assist the team in meeting it's objectives. The opportunity may arise to undertake standby duties and operational authorisations and experience would be of benefit.

Applicants may not currently possess the full range of skills required to carry out the role but should have the confidence and ability to reach the necessary standards with training.
