The Opportunity
Our client is a growing renewable energy and HV engineering business supporting the delivery, commissioning, operation and maintenance of utility-scale BESS and Solar PV assets across the UK.

This is an opportunity to join a flexible and expanding business with a strong project pipeline and continued growth across its HV power division.

- Supporting overhead-line and underground networks from LV through to 33kV.
- Planning and organising scopes of work on behalf of DNO, IDNO and private-network clients.
