• Acting as main point of contact for FEED framework projects with National Grid for Select Option and Development phases.

The Person
You will enjoy working in a team environment and using your expertise to guide other members of staff. You’ll also have the desire and ability to lead bids, deliver and technically manage work either as a lead or part of a team. You will also have strong verbal and written communication skills, and excellent quantitative and problem-solving skills.
In addition to having a positive attitude to health and safety (especially within the design process), you’ll also be able to demonstrate the following:
• Bachelor’s Degree and/ or Masters in Electrical Engineering, but candidates holding HNC/ HND qualifications and proven experience will also be considered;
