Principal HV Cable Design Engineer
UK Energy Infrastructure | Hybrid | Leadership Role
Let's not overcomplicate it.
If you can design high-voltage cable systems properly - and lead others to do the same - this will interest you.
We're hiring a Principal HV Cable Design Engineer to take technical ownership across major grid and renewable infrastructure projects.
Not a back-room checker.
A leader.
The Role
You are the technical authority on HV cable design.
* Lead design of 33kV-400kV cable systems
* Develop routing, thermal calculations, bonding designs and jointing philosophies
* Oversee cable ratings and ampacity studies
* Review and sign off detailed engineering outputs
* Interface with civils, substation, and protection teams
* Provide technical guidance to junior and senior engineers
You'll influence design standards, not just follow them.
The Work
Major energy infrastructure.
* Grid reinforcement
* Renewable energy connections
* Onshore HV export cable systems
* Large-scale substation interfaces
These are nationally significant projects. High scrutiny. High standards.
What We're Looking For
You've already earned your stripes.
1. Proven experience in HV cable design (132kV+ preferred)
