Power Systems Design Engineer

Description:

Power Systems Design Engineer 

This is an opportunity to work across a varied portfolio of commercial and utility-scale renewable energy projects, from approximately 200 kW commercial installations through to 60 MW solar farms.

You'll play a key role in taking projects from concept and grid connection through detailed design, procurement, construction and energisation, working closely with DNOs, contractors, suppliers and internal project teams.

The Role

You'll be responsible for developing and reviewing high-quality electrical designs and technical documentation across HV and LV power systems.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing HV and LV electrical systems for commercial and utility-scale power generation projects

• Developing and reviewing system architectures and Single Line Diagrams (SLDs) from concept through detailed design

• Managing and coordinating grid connection applications and technical submissions with DNOs

• Ensuring designs comply with G99, G100, UK Grid Code and relevant ENA requirements

• Coordinating grid studies including load flow, fault level, protection coordination and power quality assessments

• Specifying primary electrical plant including transformers, switchgear, protection systems, inverters and metering

• Supporting protection design and relay settings in accordance with grid and DNO requirements

• Reviewing DNO connection offers and responding to technical queries

• Providing technical support through procurement, FAT, SAT, commissioning and energisation

• Ensuring designs comply with relevant BS, IEC, ENA and project-specific standards

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
• Proven experience designing HV and LV systems within the power generation or renewable energy sector
• Strong experience working on solar PV projects
• Demonstrable experience managing grid connections and working directly with DNOs
• Strong knowledge of G99 and G100
• Experience producing and reviewing SLDs, protection philosophies and electrical system architectures
• Practical experience with load flow, fault level and protection coordination studies
• Experience using ETAP or similar power-system modelling software
• Strong understanding of UK Grid Code and ENA standards
• The ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
