About the Role
As Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you will take a key role in shaping the technical design, integration, and delivery of high-voltage BESS assets.
Working within a collaborative engineering team, you will ensure that designs are compliant, constructible, and optimised for performance and reliability.
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically driven engineer who thrives on complex electrical challenges and wants to play a hands-on role in the energy transition.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the electrical design and review of BESS projects from feasibility through to construction and commissioning.
* Develop single line diagrams, protection and control schemes, and equipment specifications for HV and LV systems.
* Coordinate grid-connection designs with DNOs/TSOs and ensure compliance with national and European grid codes.
* Support RFP and procurement processes, contributing technical specifications for major electrical equipment (transformers, switchgear, inverters, etc.).
* Interface with civil, controls, and EPC teams to ensure fully integrated and compliant designs.
* Review contractor and supplier submissions, ensuring quality, safety, and adherence to standards.
* Provide engineering support during construction, testing, and energisation stages.
* Contribute to continuous improvement of internal design standards, templates, and processes.
* Occasional travel to project sites and partner offices across Europe.
About You
* Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
* Proven experience in high-voltage electrical design within renewable energy, substations, or BESS projects.
* Strong understanding of protection, earthing, and control systems, and relevant UK/EU standards.
* Comfortable working with grid-connection studies, G99 compliance, and power system interfaces.
* Skilled in using design and documentation tools (AutoCAD, CAD for review, or similar).
* Effective communicator, capable of working across engineering, construction, and external stakeholders.
* Highly organised with strong attention to detail and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
