* HV Apparatus: Mechanical assembly and alignment of Power Transformers, Circuit Breakers (AIS/GIS), Isolators, and Busbars.
* Precision Engineering: Torquing, tensioning, and levelling to strict manufacturer tolerances.
* Specialist Systems: Installation of rotating electrical machines, including Synchronous Condensers and Hydro Turbines (alignment of shafts, bearings, and couplings).
* Containment & Earthing: Installation of heavy-duty cable management and copper earthing systems.
In order to be successful in this role you must have:
* Proven Track Record: 3+ years of verifiable experience in HV substations or Power Generation environments.
* Technical Literacy: Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings (CAD/Schematics) and P&ID diagrams.
* Licensing: Full, valid Driver’s License (Manual transmission capability preferred).
It would be great if you had:
* Rotating Machinery: Experience with the overhaul or installation of Hydro Turbines or Synchronous Condensers.
