  • Support G99 / Grid Code compliance and associated technical submissions
  • Review power-system studies and technical design documentation
  • Support projects through construction, commissioning and energisation
  • Manage technical queries and help progress projects through UK approval processes
  • Work across multiple projects with a high degree of autonomy


Key requirements:


  • Degree or equivalent background in Electrical / Power Engineering
  • Strong experience within the UK grid connection process
  • Experience across 33kV and/or 132kV projects
  • Knowledge of DNO design review and approval processes
  • Experience within Solar PV, BESS, ICP, EPC or wider HV infrastructure
  • Good understanding of G99, Grid Code and UK network requirements
  • Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders
