Our client has an exciting opportunity for a Cable Project Engineer to join a multi-disciplined engineering team, supporting the development and delivery of an expanding project portfolio aligned with Net Zero targets.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide cable engineering support across multiple projects by producing or reviewing outline cable system designs during development phases. This includes assessing technology options, selecting underground cable routes, producing current-rating calculations (e.g., CYMCAP), and evaluating interface requirements.
  
• Support the full project life cycle, including design development, HAZID/HAZCON/HAZOP risk sessions, construction, installation, commissioning, and project completion. Work collaboratively with engineers and managers to identify and mitigate engineering and quality risks, support informed decision-making, and conduct peer reviews.
  
• Work across disciplines to ensure designs are safe, efficient, and compliant with our client's standards and wider industry requirements.
  
• Develop technical scopes and specifications for new underground cable projects and modifications to existing assets. Responsibilities include reviewing cable system prequalification and type-testing reports, verifying contractor/consultant detailed cable system designs, and witnessing factory and site acceptance testing.
  
• Promote and manage Safety by Design throughout the engineering process by ensuring compliance with CDM Regulations, ESQCR, and relevant HSE legislation, embedding good design practices and lessons learned.
  

Qualifications & Experience

• Degree in a relevant engineering discipline, ideally Chartered or working towards Chartered status.
  
• Demonstrable experience in transmission development, design and specification, with the ability to technically assess issues and critically evaluate engineering solutions.
  
• Experience working on the Transmission Network with extensive knowledge of high-voltage cables and a strong understanding of legal and regulatory obligations for transmission assets.
  
• Proven experience working within multi-disciplinary project teams on transmission or major infrastructure projects.
  
• Strong technical understanding of relevant legislation and its implications for transmission network management, including CDM and ESQCR.
  
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly and concisely to support senior leadership decision-making. Able to collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders at all levels, building strong and lasting professional relationships.
