Overhead Line Design Engineer (Principal, Senior or Experienced) - Energy Expression of Interest

The UK&I energy sector is undergoing a seismic shift. Surging demand, stricter regulations, and ambitious net-zero goals are driving groundbreaking innovation. Here's your chance to be at the heart of it all.

We are open to speaking with ideally Principal/Senior or Experienced Overhead Line Design Engineers in relation to exploring future opportunities in line with our growth strategy to join our Transmission & Distribution team, with roles based in any of our UK offices.

As an Overhead Line Design Engineer within our team, you will be involved in the delivery of a wide range of OHL projects - producing and reviewing technical documents in line with industry standards.
