Design Engineer
Design and plan electricity distribution networks primarily between LV and 11kV but this can vary up to 33kV, including carrying out upfront feasibility studies to evaluate system design options. You will create a variety of diagrams in line with requirements, including schematic diagrams from basic philosophy and engineer’s sketches, high voltage power cable routing diagrams, detailed schemes and wiring diagrams, and multicore diagram and schedules. You will be creating detailed protection and metering single line diagrams. You will produce earthing studies and create associated drawings for review. Maintain accuracy of designs, including cable entry points into substations with suitable measurements. You will manage & control design changes with clients, IDNO & civils teams. You will ensure compliance with the latest P2 Standards of System Security where
