The Operations division is tasked with ensuring the safe and effective functioning of IFA around the clock. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in guaranteeing that IFA assets (Converter Station, Cable Systems, Substation, and related Operational Technology) uphold the utmost standards of operational efficiency.

Your responsibilities will include overseeing various initiatives within IFA Link's high voltage electricity Converter Station, managing team members to ensure that safe operational practices are adhered to, and sharing your expertise to facilitate the completion of maintenance, refurbishment, or replacement tasks on a diverse range of machinery and equipment across IFA.

The current portfolio of Interconnectors includes IFA, IFA2, North Sea Link, and Viking Link. The role may involve occasional support and visits to these sites, with the possibility of international travel.

This position offers a unique chance to join the IFA team, which connects the electricity networks of Great Britain and France, contributing to the provision of affordable, clean, and secure energy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Foster a safety-oriented culture and ensure compliance with procedures across interconnectors.

About You

  • Comprehensive knowledge of operations and/or failures in HV & LV systems, covering both electrical and mechanical aspects.
  • Experience in making critical business and operational decisions under pressure and with competing priorities.
  • Proven track record in delivering complex projects and familiarity with fundamental project management techniques.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, capable of establishing credibility and influencing teams effectively.
  • Minimum educational qualification of HNC in a relevant Engineering discipline.

We recognize that not every candidate will meet all requirements. Studies indicate that women and individuals from diverse backgrounds are less likely to apply unless they meet every qualification. At National Grid Interconnectors, we are dedicated to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace for all. If you are enthusiastic about this role but your experience or qualifications do not align perfectly with the job description, we encourage you to apply regardless. You may be the ideal candidate for our expanding business in this position or another.

What We Offer

  • A competitive salary ranging from £51,000 to £65,000, based on capabilities.
  • A market supplement of £3,000 per annum.
  • Standby allowance.
  • Job requirement vehicle.
  • An annual performance bonus.
  • 26 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays).
  • The option to purchase additional or sell holiday days.
  • A generous contributory pension scheme, with a maximum company contribution of 12%.
  • Financial assistance for professional membership subscriptions, course fees, books, exam fees, and study leave, provided they are relevant to your role.
  • Access to flexible benefits, including a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, and matched charity giving.
  • Family care benefits, including a backup care service for unexpected situations (six paid days each year as standard, with the option to purchase additional days).
  • Access to applications that promote health, fitness, and well-being.
