Electrical Engineer (Renewable Energy)
Location: East Coast Scotland
Salary: Competitive Salary + Excellent Benefits
Are you an experienced Electrical Engineer with a background in High Voltage (HV) systems looking to play a key role in the operation of critical renewable energy assets?
We're recruiting on behalf of a leading owner and operator within the renewable energy sector for an Electrical Engineer to support the safe, reliable and efficient operation of a major generation asset.
This is a client-side engineering role where you'll act as the technical authority for electrical systems, working closely with operations teams and specialist contractors to maximise plant availability and long-term asset performance.
This isn't a purely desk-based design role, nor is it a position where you'll spend every day on the tools. Instead, you'll combine technical engineering expertise with contractor management, maintenance planning and project delivery, stepping in as the first point of technical escalation for electrical issues.
Perhaps the biggest attraction is the opportunity to genuinely shape the role. The business is looking for someone who wants to take ownership, challenge existing approaches where appropriate and help develop the electrical engineering function over the coming years.
