Electrical Design Engineer (Experienced, Senior, Principal or Senior Principal) - Energy

The Opportunity

The UK&I energy sector is undergoing a seismic shift. Surging demand, stricter regulations, and ambitious net-zero goals are driving groundbreaking innovation. Here's your chance to be at the heart of it all.

Are you a passionate experienced Electrical Engineer with experience of working with HV and EHV voltages with experience of working with UK requirements/regulations?

We are looking to recruit experienced Electrical Design Engineers at varying level of seniority from Experienced (ideally Chartered), to Senior, Principal and Senior Principal levels) to join the team across the UK.

You will have the opportunity to get involved in wide range of projects including energy from waste, solar, interconnectors, windfarms, substations, OHL, energy building design, protection systems, LVAC, pump stations, etc. For more info on our projects, hear what our team have to say here .

As a Principal/Senior Electrical Engineer, you will play a key role in all aspects of projects, from feasibility studies and concept design to construction and commissioning. You will be responsible for leading the electrical design of projects, including generators, control and instrumentation systems, protection, substations and transmission lines. You will perform design, model and analyse electrical and electronic systems to ensure project feasibility and compliance with industry standards.

You will provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and collaborate with civil, mechanical, and other engineering disciplines to ensure a fully integrated project design.

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer who is passionate about sustainable energy and eager to make a significant impact in the industry.

About You

You will ideally be a Chartered or Incorporated Engineer status with the IET. Ideally you will have some experience in the Energy sector, although experience in other sectors such as water or buildings is useful also.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
