We bring the energy!
Through purpose and people - not just through the infrastructure we operate, but through the way we show up for each other, our customers’ and our communities. The future of energy is in our hands. Let’s shape it together.
Motivated by complex delivery — this is where you can grow your impact and work on a variety of critical brownfield and greenfield substations and distribution lines projects.
We’re entering an exciting phase of growth, and we’re looking for a Lead Civil/Structural Engineer to help us lead the way. This role will see you participating in an engineering team who provide technical expertise across the Projects portfolio. You and the team will work with internal / external stakeholders and Design Delivery Partners and Construction Delivery Partners to ensure projects are delivered in a cost-efficient way and to high standards of quality.

- Work closely with specialist engineers including Primary/Secondary and Lines teams and design partners to identify opportunities to develop new or improved standards

- Support the Engineering Solutions management team by providing mentoring, informal training and support to other engineers
- Take ownership of process improvement initiatives, specification and standard improvements and develop new methods where necessary
