Job Introduction
An exciting opportunity is available for a Primary Network Design (PND) Engineer in the South West area based in Bristol. The successful candidate will work within the PND team who are responsible for undertaking power system analysis and the network design associated with both new connections and reinforcement of the 132kV, 66kV and 33kV distribution network throughout National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED).
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual who can join us in developing our outputs to meet the ED2 business plan targets including the need to ensure capacity is available for new connections, technology and changing demand patterns.
Please see the “PND South West - about the team” document attached for further details about the team and how we fit within NGED
