Job Description

Are you ready to join a team of talented engineers and shape the future of energy infrastructure?

We are currently looking to hire a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to deliver cutting-edge designs for energy storage, solar and grid connection projects. Join a team driving the design of transformative renewable projects, making a lasting difference in the global energy transition. This role offers the opportunity to work on some of the largest BESS projects in the UK and Europe, shaping the future of sustainable energy.

Start here. Grow here.

The focus of this role is renewables and energy storage, grid connections, and private networks at voltage levels normally between 11kV to 400kV. Typical projects include feasibility, optioneering, FEED, detailed design and design assurance on existing or new build renewable generation, including pumped storage hydro, PV and wind – typically with collocated Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Work on large projects and frameworks with renewable energy generation developers, mostly in UK and Ireland but also with some global projects
• Undertake Front End Engineering Design (FEED), design for planning, feasibility studies etc. of energy storage systems including associated grid connections, control and metering
• Provide support and gain exposure to bidding, project and quality management
• Design the BESS balance of plant (BOP) systems.
• Develop grid connection solutions (11kV-400kV) for energy storage and renewables.
