* Support protection philosophies and relay settings.
* Provide technical input into procurement, factory and site acceptance testing, commissioning and energisation.
* Contribute to design reviews, risk assessments and value engineering.

* A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
* Proven HV/LV design experience within power generation.
* Direct experience managing grid connections and working with DNOs.
* A solid understanding of G99/G100 requirements, UK grid requirements and relevant ENA standards.
* Hands-on grid-study experience using ETAP or comparable modelling software.
* Experience producing and reviewing SLDs, protection philosophies and equipment specifications.
Solar PV experience is preferred. Relevant experience from other power-generation or grid-connection environments will also be considered.
