Job Description

We are working with a major international offshore wind client who requires a Lead Electrical Engineer to manage the Project’s electrical design from concept stage through to detailed design, procurement, manufacture, installation, testing, and to manage the process to connect the Project to the electricity transmission network (NETS).
