Educated to Degree level in electrical engineering (or equivalent), and preferably a higher degree or qualification in power system engineering, you’ll have a thorough knowledge of infrastructure development and design issues involved in the planning and operation of electricity transmission networks.
You'll need to be a Chartered member of a relevant professional organisation or be able to demonstrate extensive technical experience to a similar level.
You'll need an in-depth understanding of power system networks, power system analysis and modelling across a broad range of areas, coupled with a detailed knowledge of the assets and components forming the GB transmission system.
A comprehensive knowledge of the GB industry codes and standards in the context of design requirements and impact on network operation is essential, as is a strong appreciation of electrical behaviour and performance of transmission systems in various conditions.
You'll also have a strong understanding of electrical infrastructure investment processes and relevant procedures in relation to network design, a working knowledge of cost benefit analysis and its use to develop investment cases, as well as a good understanding of the regulatory framework and its influence on the technical design of the network.
In addition, we are looking for someone with experience of the following:
- Building and sustaining relationships within a technically-focussed environment and across the industry.
- Reviewing and challenging technical requirements across all power system areas.
- Coaching and developing technical skills of professional engineers across power system topics.
- Presenting detailed technical information in a way understandable to non-technical audiences.
