Job Description
Grid / Connections Engineer – Renewable Energy Developer (UK)
A fast-growing UK renewable energy developer, transitioning into an IPP, is looking to hire a Grid / Connections Engineer to support a rapidly expanding portfolio of battery storage, solar and hybrid projects.
With over 1.4GW of projects in development and a significant build programme planned over the next few years, this is an opportunity to take real ownership of grid connections and work closely with senior stakeholders in a lean, high-growth environment.
The Role
Working alongside the Grid Manager, you’ll play a key role in managing grid and connection activities across multiple projects, supporting developments from origination through to pre-energisation.
This role is particularly well suited to an early-career engineer looking to step up, gain end-to-end exposure, and move beyond purely advisory or study-based work.
Key Responsibilities
Supporting and managing grid connection applications and compliance activities
Assessing grid data, points of connection and network constraints
Power system analysis and technical data assessment
Liaising with DNOs, consultants and internal development teams
Providing technical recommendations to inform commercial and development decisions
Supporting projects through development and into delivery as the portfolio matures
About You
We’re open on background and level. This role could suit someone with:
1–3+ years’ experience in grid, power systems or connections
Experience from a DNO, ICP, power consultancy or renewable energy developer
A good understanding of UK grid connection processes
Confidence to work autonomously and take ownership of tasks
A collaborative, open and approachable working style
Previous “lead” experience is not essential, this role is about ownership and growth rather than people management.
Working Style & Location
Based in St Helens, Merseyside
Expectation to be in the office around 3 days per week once established
More time in the office initially to get up to speed, integrate with the team and understand internal processes
Collaborative, open-plan working environment with close interaction across planning, commercial and development teams
What’s On Offer
Competitive salary depending on experience (£35k–£70k guide)
Project-based incentives and performance bonus
Exposure to a large and growing renewable energy pipeline
Clear development and progression opportunities in a scaling IPP environment
