Proposal Engineer, Power Quality (Medium Voltage)
Location
UK, Hybrid (Ideally within reach of Telford)
Salary
£50,000 to £60,000, with flexibility for the right person
Influence major power infrastructure projects before they're even built.
If you're an electrical engineer who enjoys solving technically complex problems but wants greater influence over projects, this is an opportunity to move beyond traditional design work and help shape multi-million-pound electrical infrastructure programmes from the very beginning.
You'll join a growing Power Quality business within a global engineering organisation that's investing heavily in grid modernisation, power electronics and electrical infrastructure. Rather than simply supporting projects, you'll develop the technical solutions that determine how they're delivered.
This role offers an excellent balance of engineering and commercial responsibility, allowing you to stay technically hands-on while building broader experience across customer engagement, proposal development and major project delivery.
About the company
Our client is a globally recognised engineering and technology business delivering advanced electrical infrastructure and power conversion solutions to the energy, utilities and industrial sectors.
With continued investment in research, development and grid technologies, the business is helping customers improve network stability, reliability and efficiency across the UK and Europe. Continued growth within the Power Quality division has created the need for an additional Proposal Engineer to support an expanding pipeline of technically demanding projects.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role
Working alongside sales teams, design engineers and international technical specialists, you'll manage customer enquiries from initial specification through to completed technical and commercial proposals.
You'll review customer requirements, evaluate electrical system designs and develop the most appropriate technical solution for each application. This includes selecting and sizing equipment, obtaining supplier quotations, preparing costings and producing high-quality proposals for projects ranging from several million pounds through to major infrastructure programmes.
You'll work with technologies including:
- Medium Voltage power electronics
- STATCOM and Power Quality solutions
- Transformers
- Medium Voltage switchgear
- Circuit breakers
- Electrical distribution equipment
- Grid connection infrastructure
During your onboarding, you'll work closely with specialist engineering teams across Europe, receiving structured training and developing expertise in one of the fastest-growing areas of modern power systems.
About you
You'll have a background in electrical engineering and experience working with medium or high voltage power systems, industrial power electronics or electrical distribution equipment.
You might currently be working as a:
- Proposal Engineer
- Applications Engineer
- Tendering Engineer
- Electrical Design Engineer
- Power Systems Engineer
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll be comfortable interpreting single line diagrams, specifying electrical equipment and developing practical engineering solutions for customers.
Experience with medium voltage drives, power conversion equipment or electrical network design would be particularly valuable. Direct STATCOM experience isn't essential. What's more important is a strong understanding of electrical engineering principles and a genuine interest in developing expertise within power quality technologies.
An Electrical Engineering degree is preferred, although relevant industry experience will be considered equally.
What's on offer
Alongside a competitive salary and hybrid working, you'll receive structured technical training from an international centre of excellence and work alongside recognised specialists within the power quality sector.
As the team continues to grow, genuine opportunities exist to progress into senior technical, commercial or leadership positions while working on projects that are helping modernise electrical infrastructure across the UK and Europe.

If you're looking for a role where your engineering knowledge will directly influence major infrastructure projects while opening long-term career opportunities within an innovative global business, we'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
