Are you an experienced electrical design engineer with a passion for high-voltage (HV) infrastructure? Are you currently working in a consultancy and looking to expand your experience into construction and implementation?
Join our innovative and growing team at blu-3, where you’ll play a key role in shaping the future of energy connection projects across the UK.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a newly created position within blu-3, ideal for someone with a background in complex substation and cabling projects from 11kV to 400kV. You’ll act as a technical expert and focal point within the team.

• Lead the design and implementation of substation and cabling infrastructure in collaboration with design partners.
• Ensure all designs are compliant with current regulations and DNO/IDNO requirements.
• Work with the tender team on design optimisation, risk identification, and pricing strategy.
• Contribute to in-house design guides and support NERS/ICP registration processes.
