Principal Electrical Engineer

I'm currently supporting a growing energy transition platform seeking a Principal Electrical Engineer to provide technical leadership across a portfolio of renewable energy projects.

This is an opportunity for an experienced engineer to move beyond a purely design-focused role and become a key decision-maker across project development, engineering assurance, grid integration and project execution.

Key areas of focus include:

• Technical leadership across battery storage and distributed energy projects
• Engineering assurance and design review activities
• Grid connection strategy and engagement with DNOs and network stakeholders
• Supporting project delivery teams through construction, commissioning and energisation
• Managing technical interfaces with suppliers, OEMs, EPCs and consultants
• Identifying and mitigating technical risks across the project lifecycle
• Contributing to the evolution of engineering standards, processes and best practices

The ideal profile will bring:

• A strong background in electrical engineering, power systems or energy infrastructure
• Knowledge of UK grid connections, network operators and relevant regulations
• HV/LV expertise and a strong understanding of electrical design principles
• The confidence to operate independently and provide technical leadership across multiple stakeholders
• A practical, solutions-focused approach within fast-paced project environments

This opportunity would suit somebody looking to step into a genuine technical leadership position where they can shape engineering strategy, influence business decisions and play a key role in the continued growth of an ambitious energy transition platform.
