Senior Electrical Engineer

We’re supporting a global engineering organisation delivering complex offshore wind projects, looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Engineer with specialist experience in cable and connector systems.

This is a technically focused role working across high-voltage inter-array cable systems, covering engineering, testing, and offshore commissioning.

The Role

You’ll play a key role in ensuring the integrity, performance, and successful commissioning of offshore cable systems, working closely with both internal teams and external suppliers.

Key areas include:

• Engineering input across HV cable and connector systems
• Defining termination, testing, and commissioning procedures
• Supporting offshore installation and commissioning activities
• Coordinating with suppliers and project teams
• Specifying and overseeing testing in line with IEC / IEEE / CIGRÉ standards
• Supporting fault analysis, diagnostics, and system performance

What They’re Looking For

• Experience within offshore wind cable systems
• Strong knowledge of connectors, terminations, and commissioning/testing
• Understanding of HV testing methods (e.g. VLF, partial discharge, TDR, Tan Delta, DAC)
• Familiarity with IEC / IEEE / ISO / CIGRÉ standards
• Background working with subsea cables and offshore substations
• Comfortable working across both engineering and offshore environments

👉 Chartered status (or working towards) is advantageous.

Why Consider It

• Highly specialised role within offshore wind
• Involvement in complex, large-scale projects
• Opportunity to influence engineering standards and approach
• Strong benefits package and long-term progression

Additional Info

• Offshore and international travel required
• Hybrid working model
• Working as part of a global engineering function
