Key Responsibilities Provide technical assurance and electrical engineering expertise across major capital infrastructure projects. Support projects throughout the entire lifecycle – feasibility, design, delivery, and handover. Conduct design reviews and technical assessments to ensure compliance with engineering standards and regulatory requirements. Work closely with contractors, consultants, and multidisciplinary teams to support successful project delivery. Ensure projects deliver value for money, optimal whole-life cost, and long-term asset performance. Promote and uphold health, safety, and wellbeing standards across all activities. Support the development of innovative and resilient engineering solutions. Candidate Requirements Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience. Experience working on large or technically complex engineering projects. Strong understanding of electrical systems within infrastructure, utilities, or heavy engineering environments. Experience collaborating across multidisciplinary engineering teams. Commercial awareness and familiarity with engineering contracts and project delivery frameworks. Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills. Why Apply? Opportunity to work on major infrastructure investment programmes. Be involved in projects that directly impact millions of customers and environmental resilience. Join a collaborative engineering environment focused on innovation and technical excellence.
