This is an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to a wide range of engineering disciplines within a supportive and forward-thinking consultancy.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be involved in:

• Assisting with the design and engineering of electrical substations across distribution and transmission voltage levels.

• Preparing and reviewing:

  • Single Line Diagrams (SLDs)

  • Protection and Control Schematics

  • High Voltage Primary Plant layouts and elevations

  • Cable schedules and termination diagrams

  • Equipment specifications

  • Earthing (grounding) design documentation

• Supporting engineering calculations and technical design work.

• Participating in site visits, inspections and surveys.

• Ensuring designs comply with industry standards, client specifications and utility requirements.

• Working closely with civil, structural and electrical engineering teams to deliver integrated solutions.

• Preparing technical reports and project documentation.

• Assisting with project delivery by monitoring schedules, budgets and technical progress.
