Matchtech is recruiting for a Project Manager (HV/EHV) to join our clients UK Transmission and Distribution (T&D) team.
The T&D team delivers electrical power projects at transmission and distribution voltage levels. This role is to project manage pre-construction and construction activities (from design to energisation) for large-scale high voltage infrastructure and grid connections at voltage levels normally between 33kV and 400kV.
Our projects would include feasibility, detailed design, procurement, construction, test and commissioning on existing or new substations and associated infrastructure.
What will you do:
Develop HV and EHV project initial functional requirement into compliant cost-effective engineering solutions.
Project manage the development and delivery of HV and EHV projects (cable, overhead, plant and civil) to time, cost, safety and quality.
Interface with customers as well as internal and external resources to develop and deliver HV & EHV projects.
Undertake the role of CDM Designer and/or Principal Designer for developed HV and EHV projects.
Effectively communicate with internal engineering and industrial resource.
Coordinate external service providers and administer commercial.
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
Minimum HNC in Electrical Engineering, with at least five years of relevant experience.
Experience managing large and complex HV and EHV substation projects throughout the full project lifecycle from feasibility to energisation.
A strong understanding of electrical transmission and distribution plant items operations, controls and associated systems such as AIS/GIS switchgear, Protection & Control, Power Transformers, Underground power cables and Overhead lines.
Optioneering - select the most suitable substation configurations (voltage levels, installed and firm capacities) as per functional requirements for the projects.
Project Management involving the delivery of CAPEX and Customer connection projects at voltages from 33kV to 400kV from project initiation, specification and design, tendering, construction through to project closure.
Design knowledge of both AIS & GIS substations up to 400kV.
Knowledge of engineering standards for HV and EHV Plant, substations (including earthing and electrical clearances).
Excellent understanding of the H&S and CDM requirements for large scale projects.
An ability to undertake the role of 'Designer' and 'Principal Designer' under the CDM regulations.
An ability to interpret technical documentation relating to the design of electrical substations
