• Contributing to the delivery of electrical engineering projects within various industrial sectors - onshore and offshore.
• Using ETAP and other power system modelling software to perform load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, motor starting, and arc flash studies.
• Preparing electrical specifications and data sheets for LV and HV equipment.
• Understanding client requirements into effective, practical technical solutions.
• Producing high quality technical reports and presenting findings where required.
• Engaging with clients to achieve project objectives using sound technical judgement.
• Supporting senior engineers and collaborating with teams across multiple projects.
• Assisting business development activities by building strong client relationships and contributing to commercial and technical proposals.

What We're Looking For: Electrical Engineering Background

We are seeking a motivated Graduate Power System Engineer with at least a 2:1 degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
