Role & responsibilities

We are one of the few consultant Energy teams that offer opportunities to work at the full scale of projects both nationally and internationally, including, for example:

- Spatial analytics using innovative techniques in mapping and big data including spatial energy planning and/or Local Area Energy Planning
- Energy feasibility studies and design, re-configuring the way we generate, distribute and use energy.
- Campus and major site masterplanning studies, systems; modelling, designing and helping our clients transition their estates to net zero carbon.
- Campus, and city-wide electrical infrastructure assessments for university and city council clients to enable future upgrade, facilitating decarbonisation such as electrification of heat, transport, and power generation systems.
- Specific projects are likely to include district energy projects and masterplan development including energy centre design, and electrical distribution network design.

As an Electrical Energy Engineer, you will support the development of electrical systems and energy infrastructure projects from earlystage feasibility through to detailed design.

- Contribute to live projects from the start and have responsibilities and deadlines; advise clients, other engineers, architects and urban planners on holistic solutions
- Design and development of mediumvoltage (MV) electrical systems, including substations, switchgear, transformers, and distribution networks with high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) interfacing.
- Deliver substation design from RIBA Stages 13
- Undertake feasibility studies, optioneering,



and business case development for electrical infrastructure and energy systems.
- Load calculations, future demand estimations, switchgear sizing, cable sizing, transformer sizing, substation sizing, and spatial design.
- Work alongside experienced engineering colleagues and attend client meetings
- Make an impact and manage your workload
- Prepare reports and presentations to develop design concepts.
- Think 'outside the box' to demonstrate creativity and diversity when approaching engineering problems to arrive at workable solutions
- Engage in Energy team activities so you feel ownership for its success; being at the centre of our online presence and technical development.

Preferred candidate profile

- Degree level, or equivalent, in electrical/power systems engineering or related discipline
- Ideally be in the range of 3-6 years experience range
- Demonstrable expertise in electrical system design typically in medium voltage (MV) levels with low voltage (LV) interfacing
- Ability to manage themselves effectively across multiple projects including project and programme management skills
- Strong numerical analysis and modelling skills
- Familiarity with network modelling and energy system modelling techniques
- Familiarity with power systems analysis software (eg. ETAP, DIgSILENT, SKM).




- Ability to interpret client requirements and follow instruction from project leaders and project directors.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, ability to communicate technical subjects to technical and non-technical audiences; confidence in presenting to external audiences.
- Initiative and ability to work autonomously

- Strong analytical, problemsolving, and communication skills.
- Ability to apply systems approach to complex problems.
- A team-oriented approach and willingness to learn from senior colleagues.
- Enthusiasm for contributing to the energy transition and developing technical expertise.

Desirable skills

- Understanding of DNO/IDNO processes and UK electrical standards.
- Exposure to private wire networks, industrial electrical systems, or campus energy systems beneficial.
- An understanding of the interface requirements of electrical systems in low carbon system design e.g., storage, renewables, low carbon heating, demand side response, electric vehicles and energy efficiency
- Project management for delivery of projects.
- Experience liaising with third party and internal stakeholders including organising and leading workshops.
- An appetite to develop external relationships in the industry.
- Experience of working in client facing roles.
- Experience of utility providers systems and applications process.
- Skills including a track record of successful project delivery for a range of client types.
