LV / HV Design Engineer

This is an exciting opportunity for an Electrical Design Engineer with experience in LV and HV (11kV) connections design to join a major DNO framework.

The role involves carrying out design and costing for connections schemes and power distribution network upgrades, including:

• Analysis of low-voltage networks, including studies to determine voltage drop, fault levels, loop impedance, and network loading.
• Design of schemes to replace existing cables and conductors on low-voltage networks, including both underground and overhead networks.
• Design of cable diversion schemes on low-voltage networks, covering underground and overhead cables.
• Design of schemes to reinforce or reconfigure low-voltage networks to reduce loading and improve network flexibility, including underground and overhead networks.
• Design of simple high-voltage cable diversion and replacement schemes.
• Design of schemes for new connections to the low-voltage network.
• Design of simple schemes for new connections to the high-voltage network.
• Liaison with external customers regarding specific scheme requirements through written correspondence, telephone, face-to-face meetings, and other appropriate communication methods.
• Production of network schemes in accordance with targets and requirements defined by the Ofgem New Connections Guaranteed Standards of Performance regime.
