Lead Electrical Engineering on UK Energy Transition Projects.

We are recruiting a Senior Electrical Project Engineer to play a key technical leadership role across complex power generation, renewable energy and industrial infrastructure projects.

This is a high-impact engineering position supporting grid-connected generation, battery storage, anaerobic digestion, energy-from-waste and industrial energy systems. You’ll contribute across the full project lifecycle — from feasibility and grid strategy through to commissioning and operational optimisation.

If you are an experienced power systems engineer who enjoys technically challenging infrastructure environments and influencing real-world energy delivery, this role offers genuine scope and visibility.

The Role

Electrical Engineering Leadership

• Lead design and technical delivery of LV and HV electrical systems

• Produce and review SLDs, protection philosophies and technical specifications

• Equipment selection and compliance assurance

• Ensure safe, commercially viable system design

Grid Integration & Power Systems

• Support integration of generation and storage assets into the UK grid

• Work on grid connection strategies and interface management with DNOs/TSOs

• Contribute to power system studies and compliance with IEC, ENA and BS7671

Feasibility & Technical Due Diligence

• Early-stage technical assessments

• Risk identification and cost input

• Support investment and development decisions

Full Project Lifecycle Oversight

• Concept through design, construction, commissioning and optimisation

• Site attendance for installation reviews and commissioning

• Technical authority for electrical matters across projects

Modelling & Performance Optimisation

• Use modelling/simulation tools to assess performance and stability

• Support optimisation of generation, storage and control systems

Controls & Process Integration

• Work alongside controls engineers and SCADA specialists

• Ensure safe and effective integration within process environments

Technical Problem Solving

• Root cause analysis and high-level troubleshooting

• Combination of desk-based analysis and site-based engineering

Stakeholder Management

• Engage with utilities, contractors, technology vendors and regulators

• Represent the business in technical forums and approvals processes

Candidate Profile

You will likely bring:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related discipline)

• Chartered Engineer status (or working towards)

• Experience in power generation, renewable energy, battery storage or industrial infrastructure

• Strong understanding of grid integration and UK electrical standards

• Knowledge of HV/LV systems and protection

• Exposure to SCADA or industrial control environments

• Experience with engineering tools (AutoCAD, MATLAB or similar)

• Strong analytical and technical problem-solving ability

• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced delivery environment

• Willingness to travel within the UK and occasionally overseas

Experience within energy-from-waste, anaerobic digestion, industrial energy or process plant environments would be advantageous.

Package

• Salary up to £65,000 DOE

• £4,000 car allowance

• Annual bonus scheme

• Private medical insurance

• 4x life assurance

• 5% employer pension contribution

• Employee Assistance Programme

• Company expenses

Why This Role?

• Work on high-profile UK energy transition infrastructure

• Engineering-led culture with strong technical depth

• Real influence across full project lifecycles

• Long-term sector growth and stability

• High-visibility technical role within a respected energy operator
