Electrical Project Engineer | Manchester | Full Time


Are you an experienced Electrical Project Engineer with a passion for renewable energy?

Do you have a background in SCADA systems, utility-scale wind power, and the drive to lead impactful projects from concept through to commissioning?

If so, our client would love to hear from you


As an Electrical Project Engineer, you'll be a key player in the success of our client’s utility-scale wind farm projects. You’ll provide both leadership and technical expertise to ensure seamless Balance of Plant (BOP) design and Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) integration, working closely with project stakeholders and overseeing all aspects of project execution.


In this role, you’ll contribute to a greener future by integrating cutting-edge technologies into renewable energy infrastructure.


Please note that there will be regular travel within the UK & Ireland, and occasional travel to other EU regions.


Are you the right person for the job?

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering
  • Significant experience in SCADA systems, RTU/RTAC industrial communication protocols, BOP design in wind power, and ideally Irish and GB Grid Code compliance
  • Knowledge of substation and wind turbine generator systems, power plant control integration, and electrical simulation tools like DigSilent and PSSE
  • Experience in site commissioning, MV interface testing, utility automation, and relay protection
  • Must hold an EU Driving Licence
  • Strong interpersonal and organisational skills, with the confidence to effectively communicate with a range of stakeholders
  • A proactive, business-oriented mindset and the ability to work independently
  • Physically fit, with the ability to pass a medical assessment to meet the physical demands of the role


What will your role look like?

  • Act as the “single point of contact” for all electrical issues on wind farm projects, coordinating with Project Management, Local Operations, Engineers, and Customers
  • Collaborate with specialists across regions to conduct and review Grid Code compliance studies and testing
  • Provide technical support to our Sales and Tendering teams
  • Define and oversee HV electrical equipment specifications, SCADA systems, and factory acceptance tests
  • Develop signal lists and control philosophies for SCADA, and approve detailed SCADA documentation such as network designs and performance specs
  • Manage HV contractor scope, and coordinate the energisation process, including the approval of switching procedures
  • Oversee all project-related signal testing, dispatch testing, and Grid Code compliance, with opportunities to lead compliance testing


What can you expect in return?

  • Impactful Work: You’ll play a vital role in advancing renewable energy projects and have a tangible impact on green energy infrastructure
  • Collaborative Environment: Work alongside talented specialists dedicated to innovation and sustainability
  • Growth Opportunities: With regular travel, exposure to various projects, and collaboration with an expert team, this role offers continual learning and career growth


Once your CV is submitted, the company’s recruitment team will review your application, and if you’re successful, they’ll be in touch about the next steps. Interviews are set to take place at the end of November 2024, so keep an eye on your inbox (and don’t be surprised if you see a call from a withheld number).
