I am recruiting for a Power Systems Engineer to join a dedicated specialist Power Systems team within a well-established and growing Building Services and Low Carbon Engineering Consultancy.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Electrical Engineer with experience across power systems, electrical distribution and network modelling who is looking to develop their career while working on technically challenging projects.

The successful candidate will work across everything from LV and HV distribution networks through to embedded generation, substations, protection studies and resilient power systems, with network design extending up to 132kV.

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical distribution network design from LV up to 132kV
• 230V, 400V and 11kV electrical infrastructure design
• Distribution substation and cable network design
• Undertake network modelling and simulation
• Carry out load flow and fault level analysis
• Complete protection, selectivity and grading studies
• Undertake harmonic analysis and Arc Flash assessments
• Support embedded generation projects, including G99 applications and associated studies
• Undertake substation earthing design
• Design standby generation solutions for resilient electrical networks
• Produce HV cable routing drawings
• Liaise and negotiate with DNOs regarding new connections and capacity upgrades
• Produce technical reports, specifications and drawings
• Undertake site surveys and investigations
• Attend design team meetings and present technical work to clients
• Inspect installations and review contractors' work

• Provide specialist power systems advice to wider Building Services engineering teams

Experience & Qualifications

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Degree in Power Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• Previous experience working within an electrical or power systems engineering environment
• Experience designing LV/HV electrical distribution networks
• Understanding of load flow and fault level analysis
• Knowledge of protection and grading studies
• Experience with ETAP, IPSA+, ERACS, PowerFactory, Trimble, ElectricalOM or similar power systems software
• AutoCAD experience
• Good technical and analytical capabilities
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to communicate technical information effectively with clients and wider project teams

Experience with embedded generation, G99 applications, DNO connections, harmonic analysis, Arc Flash assessments and substation design would be particularly advantageous.

Revit experience would also be beneficial but is not essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Power Systems Engineer looking to join a specialist team where they can develop their technical expertise while gaining exposure to LV/HV networks, substations, embedded generation and complex electrical infrastructure projects.
