- Specification of electrical plant and equipment to achieve process objectives.
- Provision of consultancy advice on power station medium and high voltage apparatus.
- Operations & Maintenance technical support, including condition monitoring for asset management.
- Contribution to the technical delivery of multi-disciplinary projects.
- Other key aspects of the role will include assisting in the production of bids and proposals and implementing and contributing to safety initiatives.
What you can bring:
- Honours degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent qualifications and experience.
- Membership of IET and Chartered Engineer status, or working towards Chartered Engineer status.
- Some relevant industry experience and support to technically challenging projects.
- Excellent numeracy, written and verbal communication skills with ability to present arguments both verbally and written. Able to produce and review/correct high-quality technical reports.
- Flexible approach as required for site work on new and existing power plants and applying skills in new areas.
- Ability to work as an individual or as part of a diverse team across various geographic locations.
You will be able to demonstrate some experience in some (but not necessarily all) of the following areas:
- Design and specification of medium and low voltage electrical networks, including knowledge of relevant engineering software.
- Understanding of power generation technologies, in particular HV electrical rotating machines and static plant.
- Knowledge (in general and for HV electrical work in particular) of site safety systems, preparation of risk assessments and method statements.
